months of in depth testing \u2014 totaling nicely over 2,500 hours of use \u2014 streaming 4K Plex content material on nicely over a dozen gadgets, and writing 54TB of knowledge to the drives, I can state with confidence that the DXP4800 Professional is the very best all-round media server you should purchase in 2026. I will go into loads of element about how I examined the NAS over the past three months, however earlier than I get began, here is a high-level overview of the {hardware}.<\/p>\n<p>The DXP4800 Professional is a 4-bay NAS with the very best internals in its class. It is powered by an Intel Core i3-1315U and has {hardware} transcoding (splendid for Plex and Jellyfin), 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity <em>and <\/em>a 2.5 Gigabit connection, 8GB of reminiscence, a 128GB built-in SSD, and two NVMe M.2 SSD slots. The Intel Core i3-1315U platform is a stable alternative for NAS servers, and it is no shock that the majority producers are utilizing it of their fanatic fashions.

It has come a great distance within the final 12 months and is now at some extent the place you don\u2019t really feel such as you\u2019re lacking out on any of the fundamentals. After set up, I created a storage pool with the 4 drives; I like to recommend utilizing a mirrored configuration for those who\u2019re seeking to arrange a NAS, as that means you\u2019ll preserve information integrity ought to a drive fail.

Whereas Jellyfin and Dwelling Assistant are listed in UGREEN\u2019s app retailer, they\u2019re put in as containers anyway, so I simply relied on Docker to put in all the pieces.

I discover these situations extra steady, and I get the pliability to make any configuration adjustments I would like. On that be aware, the 8GB of pre-installed reminiscence makes an enormous distinction. Even with eight providers working 24\/7 inside containers, I had 3.2GB of usable RAM left, with sufficient headroom to run a VM by allocating 2GB of reminiscence.<\/p>\n<p>That mentioned, I subsequently put in a 16GB DRAM module, boosting the reminiscence to 24GB and giving me a lot better headroom to work with VMs and different containers. Even for those who do not need to go this route, know that the built-in 8GB of reminiscence is greater than satisfactory for many homelab pastime tasks.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-7fa5e9d8-90d0-11f1-90cf-cfbe58abdf00\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:5184px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.33%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"UGREEN DXP4800 Pro 4-bay NAS testing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/2YbFbcBbWJrmh3SnJsr5im.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Picture credit score: Harish Jonnalagadda \/ Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-63e3af2a-900b-11f1-82ce-d3f86e2ebfbe\">I took ten days to maneuver the information to the DXP4800 Professional, transferring over 54TB in that point.

I acquired near the 280MB\/s most bandwidth of the Exos X24 and IronWolf Professional drives, and I noticed combination transfers hit as excessive as 580MB\/s \u2014 each NAS methods might simply deal with six instances that bandwidth, so this wasn&#8217;t an issue in any respect.

I used Plex predominantly, and the DXP4800 Professional delivered three high-bitrate 4K transcodes concurrently, which is not any small feat. {Hardware}-assisted transcoding through the built-in Intel Fast Sync platform is restricted to Plex Go customers, and when you have older consumer gadgets like an early-gen iPad, this characteristic will turn out to be useful.<\/p>\n<p>Nonetheless, most newer gadgets have the requisite media containers and codecs to play media recordsdata, so you do not truly must transcode content material more often than not \u2014 outdoors of testing how the NAS holds up on this space, I solely needed to depend on direct play. That mentioned, in case your video is encoded utilizing H.265 and you&#8217;ve got a TV or streamer that may&#8217;t deal with the codec, it should have to be transcoded to H.264 to play on the consumer system, and all of that is accomplished routinely.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"elk-3ff5a616-90e9-11f1-804d-a513071ca274\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-verdict-is-clear-3\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_decision_is_obvious\"><\/span>The decision is obvious<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-7fa5ec12-90d0-11f1-b67b-776820d76489\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:5184px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.33%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"UGREEN DXP4800 Pro 4-bay NAS testing\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/xeAj7xbrFhVrff7APYVxCm.jpg\" class=\"rounded-[var(--image--border-radius,0)] inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Picture credit score: Harish Jonnalagadda \/ Android Central)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-9a535112-908a-11f1-9187-0f7b16aae3df\">After taking part in dozens of hours of footage through Plex and Jellyfin over the past three months, it grew to become clear that the DXP4800 Professional is the very best 4-bay Plex NAS.<\/p>\n<p>I did discover higher-than-usual energy draw typically, with the NAS idling at 24\u201428W, going as much as 60W when the drives are in use, and exceeding 85W underneath load.
