UGREEN Turns to AMD for New DXP GT NAS Range

UGREEN's NAS expansion continues at pace

UGREEN has launched the NASync DXP GT, a two-model NAS lineup that marks a notable shift for the brand’s DXP range. Where previous DXP units relied on Intel silicon, the DXP GT moves to AMD’s Ryzen Embedded R2514, a four-core, eight-thread processor clocked at 3.7GHz and built on x86 architecture for round-the-clock operation. UGREEN claims the switch delivers a 26% performance uplift over the chip found in the standard DXP4800, which should translate to smoother multitasking across file transfers, video transcoding, Docker containers, and scheduled backups running simultaneously.

The lineup consists of the four-bay DXP4800 GT and the two-bay DXP2800 GT. Both share the same AMD processor and ship with 8GB of DDR4 RAM, expandable to 64GB, alongside 64GB of eMMC storage dedicated to UGOS Pro. ECC memory is supported too, though you will need to purchase a compatible module separately. Where the two models diverge is in connectivity and raw capacity. The DXP4800 GT supports up to 144TB of storage across its four bays, features dual 10GbE ports, and includes a built-in SD card slot for direct media imports. The smaller DXP2800 GT tops out at 80TB and gets a single 10GbE port, but shares the same core processing and software capabilities.

The inclusion of 10GbE networking as standard is worth paying attention to. Competing four-bay units from Synology and QNAP at similar price points typically ship with 1GbE or 2.5GbE and require an add-in card to reach 10-gigabit speeds, which pushes the total cost higher. Having it baked in from the factory removes that friction entirely, and for anyone working with large media files or running multiple services, the bandwidth headroom is significant.

Storage flexibility is another talking point. Both models support a mix of SATA, U.2, and M.2 drives, letting users build tiered storage configurations that balance high-speed access with long-term archival capacity. That U.2 support is a first for the DXP family and opens the door to enterprise-grade NVMe SSDs without relying solely on M.2 slots. Drives are purchased separately, as is standard for diskless NAS units.

On the software side, UGREEN’s UGOS Pro platform handles file management, backup scheduling, remote access, and application support. The company has also launched a new Surveillance Center app alongside the DXP GT, designed to manage security camera feeds, storage, live viewing, and playback from within the NAS interface. For smart home users already running Home Assistant, Plex, or Paperless through Docker, the combination of a capable processor and 10GbE networking should help reduce the bandwidth bottlenecks that crop up when multiple services compete for resources.

The DXP4800 GT is priced at £589.99 and the DXP2800 GT at £459.99. Both are available now through the UGREEN NAS store and Amazon, with a 10% launch discount running at the time of writing.
