UGREEN

UGREEN spans network storage, switches and adapters

The UGREEN units here

Four NASync enclosures — the DH2300, DXP4800 Plus, DXP4800 GT and DXP6800 Plus — an eight-port switch, a ten-port PoE switch, a 2.5-gigabit USB-C adapter and the AK700 KVM switch.

The storage, from complete to blank

The DXP4800 GT is the most completely specified enclosure on its shelf: an AMD Ryzen R2514 with cores, threads and clock, 8 GB expandable to 64 GB with an ECC upgrade path, two 10GbE sockets, and bays that take SATA, U.2 and M.2 drives. The DXP6800 Plus is the only listing there that lists every array level it supports, and publishes no memory figure. The DXP4800 Plus names neither its processor nor its memory. The DH2300 lists what it will not do: no Docker, no virtual machines, no Wi-Fi.

The rest

The PoE switch states both power figures, 30 W a socket and 60 W in total, and what its 250 m Extend mode costs: 10 Mbps. The USB adapter names its Realtek RTL8156BG chip. The AK700 carries two DisplayPort screens per computer and says plainly that it has no HDMI socket. The eight-port switch states its size and its adapter, and nothing about its case or cooling.

Every UGREEN unit reviewed here

What each UGREEN review concluded

  • UGREEN ten-socket gigabit switch — A clearly written small PoE switch, honest about what Extend mode costs.
  • UGREEN eight-port gigabit switch — A plug-and-play gigabit switch with its size and its adapter stated, and nothing about its case, cooling or mounting.
  • UGREEN AK700 — A carefully written page for a narrow job: two machines, two DisplayPort screens, peripherals that follow.
  • UGREEN DH2300 — A deliberately small machine whose page is more useful than its specification: it names what it refuses to run, says its capacity figure assumes RAID 0, and prints its memory as soldered.
  • UGREEN DXP4800 GT — The best-documented enclosure on this shelf by a clear margin: cores and threads and a clock, a 64 GB ceiling with its ECC catch stated, two ten-gigabit sockets with the aggregate given, and bays that take three kinds of drive on arithmetic that adds up.
  • UGREEN DXP4800 Plus — A ten-gigabit four-bay machine sold on a page that names no processor and no memory and misspells the one word it uses for the chip.
  • UGREEN DXP6800 Plus — The only page on this shelf that tells a buyer which arrays they may actually build, and the only six-bay machine here.
  • UGREEN UG-USBC-25052 — A well built 2.5-gigabit adapter for a recent machine, with its chip named and its compatibility described through the devices it plugs into.
