UGREEN NASync DXP8800 Plus 8-Bay Desktop NAS, Intel i5 1235u 10-Core CPU, 8GB DDR5 RAM, 128G SSD, 2 * 10GbE, 2 * M.2 NVMe Slots, 8K HDMI, 2 * TBT4, Network Attached Storage (Diskless)

I just put the UGreen DXP8800Plus online. I equipped mine with 8 Seagate 24TB Drives, upgraded the memory, and added a 4TB NVME drive to boost throughput. WOW, it's fantastic. The RAID 5 drive stripping did take a while, but the results are worthwhile. The storage is fast, super responsive, and easy to manage. The built-in applications are tremendous and control of the device is extremely easy. I'm glad I decided to upgrade and have absolutely no regrets.

I have a DXP8800 bought on Dec 11, 2024, Here is what I have found.The system has a bad "coil whine" that appears to come from the power supply, NOT the fan.The fans in "Default Mode" and the system in idle mode can't cool 8 HDD below 110f, in "performance mode" there is no way you can call this a "Desktop NAS" unless you are Deaf.The 10GB Net cards are a joke as the most transfer rate I have seen is about 400MB. They need to prioritize the MTU change to 9014 and allow Jumbo Frames.I have 64GB memory and 1TB of M.2 drive and tried using them (M.2) as caching only to find the file transfer will actually "Studder".I have all 8 bays filled with the Seagate 2X18, 18TB Mach-2 HDD with dual actuators. I have half configured in Raid 5 and the other 4 in Raid 0.I have changed all the performance settings in the OS to achieve the best performance, with little to no change.My Desktop system is running an I-7 running at 4.0GHZ, 64GB Memory, and a dual port 10GB genuine Intel (550 chip) Net card, all Net cables are Cat-8.I have tried transfering from a 4 SSD raid-0 to and from the NAS with not much better results at to speed.I tried transferring 9TB of data to the NAS and it took 36 hours to complete.Even transferring from one storage pool to another is much slower the expected.I do believe the entire problem is within the OS's ability to handle the transfer rates of SATA-3.So I shall load another OS M.2 and try TrueNAS and possibly UnRaid next.

UGreen DXP8800 PlusOutstanding build quality. Thoughtful design. Power efficient yet powerful Intel Core i5 1235U 10 core / 12 thread processor with built in video subsystem. Easy Access HDD's and easy access to RAM as well as NVMe SSD's. Fast dual 10GbE. Thunderbolt 4 support along with USB 3.2 Gen 2.The only downside that I can think of is the provided UGreen UGOS Pro OS which needs some work. Most of the basic features are there. If a supported app isn't available then Docker will likely get you sorted. Still, the lack of iSCSI LUN support can be a problem for advanced users. Virtual Machines cant access external media such as USB or Thunderbolt. The OS is stable, it's just some of the little things haven't been sorted.
