Bought the UGREEN NAS DXP4800 Plus mainly to set up my own home storage/server for family files, backups, media, and future automation projects. So far, it has been working well for my use case.
Setup was quite straightforward, and the build quality feels solid. The NAS looks clean and premium, and the drive bays are easy to access. After installing my HDDs, the system detected them properly and I was able to create storage and start uploading files from my PC without much trouble.
The UGOS interface is quite simple and beginner-friendly. It is still a bit basic compared to more mature NAS brands, but for general file storage, photo folders, media, downloads, and basic app usage, it does the job well. I also like that it has Docker support, which gives room to experiment with apps like Jellyfin, Tailscale, automation tools, and other self-hosted services in the future.
Remote access and networking needed some learning, especially for someone new to NAS systems, but once connected properly to my home network, the NAS became easy to access from my phone and PC. File browsing through the mobile app is convenient, and I can see this being useful for family storage.
Overall, I’m happy with the purchase. It is a good choice if you want a powerful home NAS with room to grow, especially for people who want more than just basic storage. Just be prepared to spend some time learning how NAS, Docker, RAID, and remote access work if this is your first NAS.
Pros:
Solid build quality Good performance for home storage and server use Easy to access files from phone and PC Docker support for future self-hosted apps Good hardware for the price Suitable for family storage and backup use
Cons:
UGOS is still quite basic Some features require learning if you are new to NAS Photos and Files apps may not behave exactly like normal phone gallery apps Best experience requires some manual setup
Overall: Very satisfied so far. Good NAS for home users who want storage, backup, media, and future server/automation possibilities.
