Ugreen NASync DXP8800 Ultra Review: A Powerful Upgrade for Demanding Users

Ugreen has released the NASync DXP8800 Ultra, an upgraded version of its flagship NAS device. While the chassis and port layout remain identical to the previous DXP8800 Plus model, the Ultra features significant internal improvements, including an Intel Core 7 150U processor and an increased memory capacity of up to 96GB. Priced at $1,779.99, the device targets power users involved in virtualization and AI hosting rather than casual file storage. Despite the higher cost, the Ultra offers competitive advantages over rivals like Synology, including dual 10GbE ports and Thunderbolt 4 connectivity. The device runs on the evolving UGOS Pro operating system and is now available for direct purchase without the need for crowdfunding. While the high memory ceiling is a notable feature, the current cost of DDR5 RAM may deter many users from fully upgrading their systems.
