0 It’s not a shock that we love a Ugreen product. Here we are with another great piece of networking genius. The UGREEN NASync DXP2800 GT brings elegance and performance into one neat little package. Is it worth upgrading your current setup? Well, that depends on a large number of things.
The GT range of NAS’ features 2 offerings. the DXP4800GT and this one, the 2800 GT. While the former is a 4 bay machine, capable of up to 144tb of storage. The latter only 2 bays and up to 80tb of storage. Either option will depend on your needs.
Built For Speed And Endurance
If you already have a NAS setup at home, then perhaps this might be a neat little addition to the network. Or if you don’t have one at all, then you definitely want to pay attention to the specs of this one. Let’s dig in and find out what makes this one stand out.
Design Features
As mentioned before, the DXP2800 GT features 2 HDD bays, holding a maximum of 32tb per drive. It also has 2 NVMe SSD slots helping to expand that storage up to a massive 80tb. Combined with the 10GbE port, giving you the ability to transfer at speeds that you might have only dreamed about. Allowing you to share content, and access whatever you’ve got saved in an instant with as little delay as possible.
From a specification point of view, the system is setup with a high-performance AMD Ryzen cpu. An embedded R2514 processor, with 4 cores and 8 threads, it can handle multiple containers as well as virtual machines with ease. Allowing you to configure this NAS in any way that you can dream. Matched with up to 64gb of DDR4 ram you can see just how much this NAS can perform.
The DXP2800 GT also boasts a great lineup of ports for any of your connection needs. With two USB-A ports capable of 10Gbps transfer rate, in addition to a single USB-C with the same transfer rate. Alongside two 2.0 USB-A ports and then the HDMI 4K port. These ports allow you to connect the NAS however you need to become a reality. Using the built in UGOS Pro operating system, really whatever you want is all within your hands. A simple setup using your mobile device and you are away to create the cloud network storage of your dreams.
Creativity Options Galore
Now I could rave on about the specs until the cows come home, but you really want to know what is possible with the NAS right? Well I’m going to give you a few examples to how you might want to use it. Firstly, you can just use it as a storage device, storing your precious family photos and videos. Keeping them nice and safe. Then you can turn it into a home theatre, saving all your digitised legally obtained films that you can connect wherever you are.
One of the other options is to be able to turn your NAS into a full on surveillance centre. If you have a number of cameras around your house, you can use the DXP2800 GT to monitor them in one place. Even recording and then playing back if you need to. It even has auto event detection where you can filter your footage into particular incidents allowing you to scrub through and find exactly what you are after.
Alternatively if you want something a little more creator based, you can store all your files needed on there. Working from it using the fast transfer speeds you will never struggle to save your latest project. It also keeps it safe if anything ever happens to your computer and you are forced to format your storage.
Final Thoughts
So if you are after a new network drive, then you might want to pick this one up. Retailing at £459.99, however, on the Ugreen website there is a 20% off deal at the time of writing. It really is a great option if you are looking for something new. Even if you are a first timer looking for a new project, this one is definitely up there.
The Ugreen NASync DXP2800 GT receives the Thumb Culture Gold Award.
