The UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus is the first NAS I’ve used for my own workflow, and it instantly makes sense with how much photo, 3D, and video data I deal with. It’s easy to expand later with extra drives and M.2, and the 2.5GbE/10GbE ports give you room to grow if your network can handle it.
Pros
+Solid build quality and clean, ‘safe deposit’ style design
+Easy drive installation with the tool-less trays
+Front USB-A/USB-C Gen 2 plus SD card slot is convenient
+2.5GbE and 10GbE Ethernet options for faster networking
+Expandable with M.2 storage at the bottom
Cons
-Some useful access settings weren’t enabled by default in my setup
-If you plug Ethernet into the wrong port, transfer speeds can feel slow
