Ugreen abandons Intel and offers its first NAS under an AMD chip. Two models are offered: a 2-bay (DXP2800 GT) and a 4-bay (DXP4800 GT), with a premium positioning claimed from the name with the notion of GT.
Until now, all of Ugreen’s NAS were based on Intel chips. The new NASync DXP GT range breaks with tradition by adopting an AMD processor. Two models open the series, the four-bay DXP4800 GT and the two-bay DXP2800 GT, both designed for those who want to free themselves from cloud subscriptions.
The manufacturer makes no secret of it. The idea is to “centralize all of its files in a private space, accessible anywhere and at any time”, without paying a monthly rent for access to its own data. The suffix GT, for Grand Touring, borrows from the automotive vocabulary of large luxury road cars designed for long-distance comfort. The signal is clear from the name, these NAS aim for the top of the basket.
Under the hood, AMD Ryzen processor, 10GbE and aluminum chassis
The two devices share most of their architecture. At the heart is an AMD Ryzen Embedded R2514 processor (4 cores and 8 threads), supported by 8 GB of DDR4 memory expandable up to 64 GB. The in-house operating system, UGOS Pro, is installed on 64 GB of onboard eMMC storage.
For storage, each NAS has two M.2 2280 slots accepting SSDs up to 8 TB in Gen 3 x2 (which must guarantee speeds of up to 2,000 MB/s). Enough to combine mechanical hard drives for capacity and SSD for speed of access. The chassis, in black and gold aluminum, has a finish that is intended to be impeccable. At the rear, a magnetic dust filter and a hydraulic fan keep noise between 29 and 34 dB, values which are intended to be discreet.
Small subtlety on memory. The GT series supports ECC, popular for the reliability it brings to data manipulation, but on condition that you purchase a compatible module yourself. The RAM supplied as standard is not ECC, so you will have to checkout to take advantage of it.
DXP4800 GT vs. DXP2800 GT, similar and different
It is on the network that the two models diverge most clearly. The DXP4800 GT introduces a dual 10 GbE connection, where previous generations had a 2.5 GbE port and a 10 GbE port coexist. The DXP2800 GT makes do with a single 10GbE port, which deprives it of aggregation and the flexibility that comes with it.
The gap is also widening on capacity. The four-bay model increases up to 144 TB and manages JBOD, RAID 0, 1, 5, 6 and 10 modes, enough to cover all the trade-offs between performance and redundancy. The DXP2800 GT caps at 80 TB. On the latter, bays 1 and 2 accept high-speed U.2 SSDs, a compatibility which is found on the SATA1 and SATA2 slots of the DXP4800 GT.
Last difference, more concrete than it seems for certain uses, the SD card reader. The DXP4800 GT has an SD 3.0 reader designed for photographers who want to offload their images directly to the NAS. The DXP2800 GT does not have one. A detail that can weigh in the balance depending on the profession.
UGOS Pro, Docker, Photo AI and Remote Access without Public IP
The software aspect is based on UGOS Pro, the in-house operating system. The system supports Docker and virtual machines, offers AI-assisted photo management and integrates a “Surveillance Center” to control cameras. Remote access goes through UGREENlink, which allows you to connect to your files securely without having to configure a public IP, a step often daunting for the uninitiated.
A limit deserves to be reported on video surveillance. The Surveillance Center only supports the H.264 codec. Cameras that broadcast in H.265, which are increasingly common, will not be compatible.
The presence of Docker and virtual machines place these NAS beyond a simple digital safe. We are entering the territory of the small domestic server or small business, capable of hosting application services, and not just files.
The move to AMD is not a uniform move upmarket. The Ryzen Embedded R2514 displays a lower multithreaded throughput than the Intel Pentium Gold 8505 which equips the DXP4800 Plus. The DDR4 used here is also older and slower than DDR5. This architectural choice is therefore more of a repositioning than a raw jump in performance.
Price and availability
The two NAS have been available since June 8, 2026 on the official Ugreen store. The DXP4800 GT is priced at €659.99, the DXP2800 GT at €509.99. As always, storage drives are sold separately.
