The UGREEN DXP4800PLUS is a powerful NAS that allows me to quickly store, manage, and stream all my media in one place. I transfer many files at once without any issues. I also stream media quickly from my smartphone and laptop, even when I'm far from the NAS. The included Ethernet cables are a bit short, though.
Easy installation
After inserting the drive, I downloaded the UGREEN NAS app on my smartphone. During the installation, the app does the work, and I don't have to do anything myself. It takes about 10 minutes in total. After installation, I selected the hard drive and created folders following the guided tour in the app. I found the app user-friendly. Each step explained how the function works. This allowed me to quickly create my shared folder, which I then filled with photos, videos, and music. While assigning the hard drives, I was also asked which RAID configuration I wanted to use. Since I was only using one drive, I chose the storage option. Everyone uses the NAS in their own way, whether you're a beginner using a single drive or an experienced user creating RAID setups.
Good cooling
The NAS stays well-cooled during use. The rear fan has a magnetic dust cover, keeping it clean. I transfer a lot of large media files at once, and the NAS stays well-cooled. The app shows the NAS is 41 degrees Celsius and the hard drive is 36 degrees Celsius. The app also advises me whether the NAS has enough space for ventilation. During transfers, the fan rotates 502 times per minute. Yet, I hear very little noise coming from the NAS.
Fast remote connection
I have the NAS at home and test how quickly it connects remotely to my smartphone and laptop. I work about 20 kilometers from home, and the NAS handles this easily. At the office, I quickly open my saved files and transfer new files to the hard drive. This is useful when I want to watch a movie from the NAS while on vacation, for example.
