uGreen NASync DXP6800 Ultra review: Halfway between AI powerhouse and basic NAS
AI-summarised brief · reviewed before publication
uGreen’s NASync DXP6800 Ultra retails for $1,449.99 and offers six front‑load SATA bays, two M.2 NVMe slots, dual 10 GbE ports, and two Thunderbolt 4 connections, positioning it as a high‑throughput, expandable storage appliance. Powered by an Intel Core 5‑120U (10 cores, 12 threads, up to 5.0 GHz) and 8 GB DDR5 ECC RAM, the unit can hold up to 208 TB (six 32 TB drives plus two 8 TB NVMe sticks) and supports RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD. Benchmarks show ~1,750 single‑core and 6,200 multi‑core Geekbench 6 scores, comparable to mid‑range desktop CPUs but below Apple’s M1 Mac mini. Power draw ranges from 43 W idle to about 60 W under heavy I/O. The chassis is a metal tower designed for shelf placement, with a modest 60 W peak and a three‑year warranty.
💡 Why It Matters
- · By bundling enterprise‑grade 10 GbE and Thunderbolt 4 at a sub‑$1,500 price, the DXP6800 Ultra makes ultra‑fast, scalable storage accessible to small businesses and power users who previously needed pricier, add‑on‑heavy solutions.
