UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus is now in stock at Mascom International for KSh 90,000, built around a 12th Gen Intel Pentium Gold 8505 processor with 5 cores and 6 threads, 8GB of DDR5 memory expandable to 64GB, a 128GB internal SSD dedicated to the UGOS Pro operating system, four SATA bays taking 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives, two M.2 NVMe slots, one 10GbE port, one 2.5GbE port and 4K HDMI output. Every UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus unit we hold is brand new and sealed. Inspect one at Old Mutual Building, First Floor Room 4, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD.
Photography and video studios in Westlands, architecture practices in Kilimani, medical clinics along Ngong Road, law firms near Milimani Law Courts, county government offices and university research teams all share the same problem: project files keep outgrowing laptop drives, and passing portable disks between staff loses versions and leaks data. The UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus answers that by holding every file in one place on your own office network, with four drive bays reaching 144TB and a permissions layer that decides who opens what. Nobody waits on a fibre link to reach their own footage.
At Mascom International, we're seeing Kenyan creative teams and small practices move off monthly cloud subscriptions entirely once they price three years of Google Workspace or Dropbox storage against a one-time NAS purchase. The UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus carries hardware that costs noticeably more inside a Synology or QNAP box at the same capacity, and users consistently report that the 10GbE port removes the file-transfer wait that made shared drives unpopular in the first place. Walk into our Kimathi Street store to see the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus running before you commit.
Common Questions About the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus
Who actually needs a UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus in Kenya?
Photography and video studios, architecture firms, clinics, law offices, schools and county offices that share large files across a team. The DXP4800 Plus sits on your own network and holds up to 144TB, so a Westlands agency cutting 4K wedding footage or a Kilimani architecture practice handling Revit models stops paying monthly cloud fees and stops circulating external drives. Staff open files directly over the office LAN. Remote access still works through the NAS app when someone is travelling to Mombasa or Kisumu.
Does the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus come with hard drives at KSh 90,000?
No. The DXP4800 Plus ships diskless, so KSh 90,000 covers the unit, the Pentium Gold 8505 processor, 8GB DDR5, the 128GB internal SSD and both network ports. You choose the drives separately. UGREEN recommends NAS-rated CMR drives: WD Red Plus, WD Red Pro, Seagate IronWolf, IronWolf Pro or Toshiba N300. Mascom International stocks compatible drives and fits them before delivery on request. Four 8TB drives in RAID 5 return roughly 24TB of usable capacity.
How fast is the 10GbE port compared to a normal Kenyan office network?
The 10GbE port moves data at up to 1,250MB per second, backing up a 1GB file in under a second and running ten times quicker than the 1GbE ports fitted to most office switches in Nairobi. A 2.5GbE port sits alongside it for a second network or a direct link to an editing workstation. Reaching full speed needs a 10GbE switch or a 10GbE card in that workstation. On ordinary gigabit cabling the unit still saturates the link.
Can the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus run Docker, Plex and virtual machines?
Yes. UGOS Pro runs Docker containers and virtual machines from its App Center, and the Pentium Gold 8505 includes Intel UHD graphics with Quick Sync for hardware transcoding. In practice it handles several simultaneous 4K-to-1080p Plex streams. Kenyan owners commonly run Home Assistant, Pi-hole, Nextcloud, Vaultwarden, Immich and Portainer alongside file sharing. SSH access covers Docker Compose work. The 4K HDMI port also feeds a TV directly for local playback without a separate media box.
Which RAID level should a Kenyan small business choose with four drives?
RAID 5 suits most four-drive builds. It spends the capacity of one drive on parity, survives a single drive failure and keeps read speeds high, so four 8TB drives return about 24TB usable. RAID 10 tolerates two failures across different mirrors and writes quicker, but halves capacity. The DXP4800 Plus also supports JBOD, Basic, RAID 0, RAID 1 and RAID 6. Practices holding patient records or case files under the Data Protection Act 2019 usually settle on RAID 5 or RAID 6.
What does the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus cost to run on Kenya Power?
The unit draws 42.36W while drives are being accessed and 18.12W once they hibernate. At a domestic tariff near KSh 30 per kWh, running continuously at the higher figure works out around KSh 30 daily, or roughly KSh 900 a month. That undercuts most cloud subscriptions covering the same capacity. Quiet mode measures 29 to 34dB, soft enough for a bedroom or a small office. Pair it with a UPS so grid interruptions never catch a write mid-flight.
Is the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus better value than Synology in Kenya?
On hardware, yes. Its 5-core Pentium Gold 8505 outpaces the dual-core AMD Ryzen R1600 inside the Synology DS923+, 10GbE is built in where Synology sells it as a separate add-in card, and 4K HDMI output is present where the DS923+ has none. Synology answers with more mature DSM software and a longer track record on backup tooling. At KSh 90,000 through Mascom International, buyers who want 10GbE without buying a card get further for the money.
How does the DXP4800 Plus differ from the standard DXP4800 and the DXP4800 Pro?
Three models share the same four-bay chassis. The base DXP4800 runs an Intel N100 quad-core processor with two 2.5GbE ports. The Plus steps up to the five-core Pentium Gold 8505, pairs 10GbE with 2.5GbE and adds the 128GB internal SSD for the operating software. The Pro moves to a ten-core Intel Core i5-1235U for multi-stream 4K transcoding and heavier virtual machine loads. Most Kenyan studios and small offices land on the Plus for its balance of price against network speed.
Technical Specifications
Processor Architecture and Real-World Speed
- Intel Pentium Gold 8505, 12th Gen, 5 cores and 6 threads, boosting to 4.40GHz under load.
- Hybrid layout pairs one performance core with four efficiency cores, keeping background tasks off the busy core.
- Intel UHD Graphics for 12th Gen processors handles Quick Sync hardware transcoding for Plex and Jellyfin libraries.
- PCIe Gen 4 support with 20 lanes feeds both M.2 NVMe slots and the 10GbE controller without contention.
- Sustained low draw suits 24/7 duty in an office that never powers the unit down.
- Handles Docker containers, virtual machines and multi-user file access at the same time without stalling transfers.
Memory Configuration and Internal Storage
- 8GB DDR5-4800 fitted from the factory across two SO-DIMM slots, both user-accessible for later upgrades.
- Expandable to 64GB total, enough headroom for several virtual machines or a large photo index.
- ODECC support catches single-bit memory errors, useful where files sit untouched for months.
- A separate 128GB internal SSD carries UGOS Pro, so the operating software never competes with your data drives.
- Keeping the operating software off the SATA bays means all four bays stay free for storage capacity.
- DDR5 bandwidth shortens the wait when the photo index rebuilds after a bulk upload.
Drive Bays, RAID Levels and Capacity
- Four hot-swappable SATA bays accept 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drives with tool-free trays for quick fitting.
- Two M.2 NVMe slots serve either as read and write cache or as a separate fast storage pool.
- Total capacity tops out at 144TB using four 32TB SATA drives plus two 8TB NVMe SSDs.
- RAID options cover JBOD, Basic, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6 and RAID 10.
- RAID 5 across four 8TB drives returns roughly 24TB usable while surviving one drive failure.
- Works with Western Digital, Seagate and Toshiba drives, with no vendor lock preventing third-party disks.
- Sold diskless, so you match drive capacity and budget to your own workload.
Network Connectivity and Transfer Speeds
- •One 10GbE RJ45 port reaches 1,250MB per second, moving a 1GB file in under one second.
- One 2.5GbE RJ45 port runs a second subnet or links straight to an editing workstation.
- Both ports operate together for link aggregation or network separation between staff and backup traffic.
- Ten times the throughput of the 1GbE switches still common in Nairobi office cabinets.
- Remote access over Safaricom Home fibre, Faiba or JTL connections works through the UGREEN NAS mobile app.
- No built-in Wi-Fi, so a wired run to your router or switch is required.
Ports, Expansion and Media Output
- Front panel carries one USB-C and one USB-A port, both running at 10Gb/s for quick offloads.
- Rear panel adds one 5Gb/s USB-A port plus two USB 2.0 ports at 480Mb/s for peripherals.
- Built-in SD 3.0 card reader copies camera cards straight to the NAS without a laptop in between.
- HDMI output at 4K 60Hz drives a television or monitor directly for local media playback.
- USB ports accept external drives for a second backup copy kept off-site or in a safe.
- Front-panel placement means photographers dump a shoot without reaching behind the chassis.
UGOS Pro Operating System and Data Protection
- UGOS Pro runs the whole unit from a browser, covering storage manager, files, photos and users.
- App Center installs Docker, virtual machines, backup tools and media servers without command-line work.
- Firewall rules, IP block lists, web application filtering and anti-DDoS defences guard the unit against outside probes.
- HTTPS encryption protects remote sessions when staff open files from Mombasa, Kisumu or Eldoret.
- Per-user and per-folder permissions decide exactly who reads, writes or shares each project directory.
- Photo indexing sorts by faces, objects and scenes, then flags duplicates to recover wasted capacity.
- Snapshot and versioning tools give a recovery point when ransomware or an accidental delete hits.
Cooling, Noise Levels and Power Draw
- Quiet mode measures 29 to 34dB, low enough to leave the unit in a shared office or bedroom.
- Rear fan cooling holds drive temperatures steady through Nairobi's warm afternoons and Mombasa's coastal humidity.
- Power draw sits at 42.36W during active drive access and drops to 18.12W in hibernation.
- Roughly KSh 900 monthly on continuous operation at Kenyan domestic tariffs near KSh 30 per kWh.
- Chassis measures 257 x 178 x 178mm and weighs 4.06kg without drives fitted.
- Low draw pairs well with a small UPS, keeping writes safe through short Kenya Power interruptions.
