UGREEN’s New Flagship NAS Offers Onboard AI

The UGREEN NASync iDX6011 range doesn't hold back on specs

UGREEN is making a serious play for the high-end NAS market with the announcement of its new iDX Series, a flagship range that bakes artificial intelligence directly into the hardware. The UGREEN NASync iDX6011 and its beefier sibling, the UGREEN NASync iDX6011 Pro, represent a significant step up from the company’s existing lineup, promising the kind of performance and smart features that’ll have Synology and QNAP paying attention.

While it’s best known for chargers and power banks, UGREEN has been quietly expanding its range into other areas in recent times. Successfully too I might add, we’ve been impressed with the NASync offerings so far and the NASync DH4300 Plus proved the company can build a solid, user-friendly storage solution. The iDX Series is playing in an entirely different league. The main event here is the NASync iDX6011 Pro, which packs an Intel Core Ultra 7 processor capable of delivering up to 96 TOPS of AI compute power. Pair that with 64GB of LPDDR5X memory as standard, dual M.2 NVMe SSD slots, and expandable storage reaching up to 196TB, and you’re looking at a properly serious bit of kit.

What makes the iDX Series particularly interesting is UGREEN’s commitment to keeping AI processing entirely on-device. Rather than shipping your data off to external servers for analysis, all the clever stuff like Universal Search, UGREEN’s Uliya AI assistant, AI-powered photo albums, voice memo transcription, and automatic file organisation, happens locally on the NAS itself. Even putting AI workloads to one side, those internal specs should deliver impressive performance for more traditional NAS tasks like media streaming and home automation.

The addition of the iDX6011 means UGREEN has now structured its NAS family to cover all bases. The DH Series like the DH4300 Plus we tested handles entry-level users who want straightforward, secure storage. The DXP Series takes a step up and targets enthusiasts and content creators needing scalable, pro-grade performance. And now the iDX Series sits at the top for power users who want maximum capability with the possibility of AI smarts built in. It’s a nicely tiered approach that gives customers a clear upgrade path as their needs grow.

The UGREEN NASync iDX6011 and NASync iDX6011 Pro are available for early bird pre-order now on UGREEN’s website in the UK, US, and Germany. You’ll need to make a small deposit to secure your spot, with impressive savings available during the super early bird period running until March. After that, the range will hit Kickstarter to expand availability globally. If you’ve been waiting for UGREEN to flex its muscles in the flagship NAS space, this looks like exactly that.
