UGREEN NAS Key Features

What makes the UGREEN NAS different from Synology, QNAP, and every other NAS on the market.

AI-Powered Photo Management

All UGREEN NASync models include an AI photo album that automatically organises photos by faces, scenes, and locations. Smart tagging, duplicate removal, and searchable albums — all processed locally on your own hardware with no cloud dependency.

Up to 272TB Storage

The flagship DXP8800 Plus holds 8 SATA drives plus 2 M.2 NVMe slots — up to 272TB total. The DXP4800 Plus supports 144TB across 4 SATA + 2 NVMe. All DXP models support RAID 0/1/5/6/10. Use NAS-grade drives (Seagate IronWolf, WD Red Plus) for best reliability.

High-Speed 10GbE Networking

The DXP8800 Plus features dual 10GbE for link-aggregated speeds up to 2,500 MB/s. DXP4800 Plus has 10GbE + 2.5GbE. DXP480T Plus combines 10GbE with Wi-Fi 6 and 2× Thunderbolt 4 ports for 40Gbps direct-attach speeds.

Military-Grade Privacy

All data stays on your hardware. AES-256 encryption, local-only AI processing, real-time antivirus scanning, and no third-party cloud dependency. Your files, your rules.

Full Docker Support (DXP)

DXP series models run any Docker container: Plex, Home Assistant, Nextcloud, Pi-hole, Jellyfin, Immich, and hundreds more. With up to 64GB DDR5 RAM and Intel processors, handle 20+ containers simultaneously. (DH2300 does not support Docker.)

4K / 8K Media Hub

DXP480T Plus and DXP8800 Plus feature 8K HDMI output for direct media playback. DXP4800 Plus and DH2300 support 4K 60Hz. All Intel DXP models handle hardware transcoding for multiple simultaneous 4K Plex or Jellyfin streams.

UGREEN NAS Review — Our Verdict

SmartGear Rating
4.8 / 5

The UGREEN NASync range offers compelling hardware value across every price point. The DH2300 at just £179.99 is an outstanding entry-level NAS for families wanting to escape cloud subscription fees. For home lab users and media enthusiasts, the DXP4800 Plus at £526.99 delivers Intel performance, 10GbE networking, and full Docker support at a price that beats comparable Synology models.

Creative professionals should look at the DXP480T Plus (£730.99) for its silent all-flash NVMe storage and Thunderbolt 4, while the flagship DXP8800 Plus (£1,121.99) is arguably the best value 8-bay NAS available — dual 10GbE, 272TB max, 3-year warranty, and Intel Core i5 muscle.

For UK buyers: all models are available now directly from UGREEN UK at nas-uk.ugreen.com with UK VAT included and fast delivery. We recommend the DXP4800 Plus (£526.99) as the sweet spot for most users wanting a capable media server and Docker host.

UGREEN NAS FAQs

Common questions about the UGREEN NAS, Docker, the UGREEN NAS app, and UK availability.

What is a UGREEN NAS?
A UGREEN NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a personal cloud server made by UGREEN under the NASync brand. It connects to your home network and lets you store, access, and share files from any device — without paying monthly cloud subscription fees. The current UGREEN NASync lineup available in the UK includes the DH2300 (2-bay entry, from £179.99), DXP4800 Plus (4-bay flagship, £526.99), DXP480T Plus (all-flash NVMe, £730.99), and DXP8800 Plus (8-bay professional, £1,121.99). All models run UGOS Pro with AI photo album support. DXP series models support Docker for running apps like Plex, Home Assistant, and Nextcloud.
Does the UGREEN NAS support Docker?
Yes, UGREEN DXP series NAS devices fully support Docker containers. You can install and run Docker containers through the UGOS Pro interface or via SSH. Popular containers include Plex Media Server, Home Assistant, Nextcloud, Pi-hole, Jellyfin, Portainer, and many more. Important: the entry-level DH2300 does not support Docker or virtual machines — for Docker support, choose the DXP4800 Plus (from £526.99) or above. The DXP8800 Plus with dual 10GbE and expandable 64GB DDR5 RAM handles 20+ containers simultaneously.
Where can I download UGREEN NAS software?
UGREEN NAS software can be downloaded from the official UGREEN NAS download page at nas.ugreen.com. This includes: UGOS firmware updates for your NAS, the UGREEN NAS mobile app (iOS and Android) for remote access, and the UGREEN NAS desktop client for Windows and macOS. The mobile app lets you access files, manage backups, and control your NAS remotely. Always download from the official UGREEN site to ensure security.
Is the UGREEN NAS available in the UK?
Yes, the full UGREEN NASync range is available to buy now in the UK. Purchase directly from the official UGREEN NAS UK store at nas-uk.ugreen.com. Prices start at £179.99 for the NASync DH2300 (2-bay entry), with the DXP4800 Plus at £526.99, DXP480T Plus (all-flash NVMe) at £730.99, and the flagship DXP8800 Plus at £1,121.99. All models ship with UK VAT included and come with a 2–3 year warranty. SmartGear Outlet is an authorised UGREEN partner in the UK — we stock UGREEN chargers, cables, and accessories that pair perfectly with any UGREEN NAS.
UGREEN NAS vs Synology — which is better?
It depends on your priorities. UGREEN NASync DXP models win on hardware value: Intel processors, up to 64GB DDR5 RAM, 10GbE networking, and Thunderbolt 4 — often at lower prices than comparable Synology units. The entry DH2300 at £179.99 undercuts most Synology entry models. Synology wins on software maturity: DSM has been refined for 20+ years with a massive package ecosystem. For Docker power users and content creators, UGREEN NAS offers better hardware value. For set-and-forget home NAS with maximum software reliability, Synology remains a solid choice.
What is the UGREEN NAS app?
The UGREEN NAS app is available for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS. It provides remote access to your NAS files from anywhere, automatic photo/video backup from your phone, file sharing with links and permissions, real-time NAS monitoring (CPU, RAM, storage), and Docker container management. The app connects via UGREEN's relay servers for remote access (with end-to-end encryption) or directly over your local network for maximum speed. It's free to download from the App Store, Google Play, or nas.ugreen.com.
What hard drives work with the UGREEN NAS?
UGREEN NAS devices support 3.5" and 2.5" SATA hard drives. Recommended NAS-grade drives include Seagate IronWolf (best value), Western Digital Red Plus (best reliability), and Toshiba N300 (best for large capacities). The DXP4800 Plus and DXP8800 Plus also have M.2 NVMe slots for SSD caching. The DXP480T Plus uses only M.2 NVMe SSDs — no SATA bays. Max storage: DH2300 up to 64TB, DXP4800 Plus up to 144TB, DXP8800 Plus up to 272TB. Always check the official UGREEN compatibility list at nas-uk.ugreen.com/pages/compatibility before purchasing drives.
Can the UGREEN NAS run Plex?
Yes, UGREEN DXP NAS models are excellent for Plex. The DXP4800 Plus and DXP8800 Plus feature Intel processors with hardware transcoding for multiple simultaneous 4K streams. Install Plex via Docker on any DXP model. The DXP8800 Plus with dual 10GbE and up to 272TB storage is one of the most capable Plex servers in a consumer NAS. Jellyfin and Emby are also supported as free alternatives. Note: the DH2300 entry model does not support Docker — choose DXP4800 Plus or above for a Plex server.
