NAS or Network Attached Storage is a must-have device in most homes and organizations. Not only can you upload data and files, but others can also access and edit files in real-time and even remotely. Ugreen — the company behind laptop and phone chargers, hubs, and docks — unveiled the Ugreen NASync Network Attached Storage at CES 2024.
The NASync devices are powered by Intel processors and boast higher security measures compared to cloud drives. This way, they prevent data leakage and tracking through local storage and encryption.
Needless to say, the NASsync series of devices are available for a varied range of users. Users just starting on the journey can get the 2-Bay or 4-Bay NAS, while power users can opt for 6-Bay or 8-Bay devices. Or, if you want to get the most out of your NAS, then the All-Flash device is what you should get.
So, what makes the Ugreen NASync Network Attached Storage devices special? Well, here’s all you need to know about them. Let’s get started.
1. Powered by Intel Core Processors
The UGREEN NASync series devices are powered by 12th Gen Intel Core processors. The 6 cores and 12 threads inside the processors facilitate efficient processing and seamless multitasking. Naturally, these features add to the convenience of daily work, like accessing files and streaming media.
Plus, this new-age processor also facilitates multitasking.
2. Dual 10GbE Network Ports & Thunderbolt Ports
Another noteworthy feature of these NASync devices is their connectivity options. These devices pack two Thunderbolt 4 ports and dual 10GB Ethernet ports. The Thunderbolt 4 ports can go up to 40Gbps, which translates to less time for data access. At the same time, you can connect storage devices with Thunderbolt ports to get the most out of these connectivity ports.
Secondly, the 10Gb Ethernet ports enable fast downloads. If we talk numbers, these dual network ports can get you a theoretical speed of 2500MB/s. In addition to these parts, you also get your share of an SD slot, USB-A ports, and Type-C ports with the NAS devices.
That’s not all. Some of these devices are equipped with 8K HDMI output which means you can watch your favorite movies and media in all their glory.
The Ugreen DXP6800 Pro, DXP8800 Plus, and DXP480T Plus devices are equipped with the above specifications.
3. Expandable Memory
The NASync NAS devices also come with expandable 8GB DDR5 memory, and you can expand up to 32GB. The DDR5 memory translates into swift performance and multi-tasking. If you must know, DDR5 memory offers many improvements over its old counterpart.
At the same time, the drives are easy to access. They come with a push button at the bottom. All it requires is a simple push/pull to install and remove.
4. Access More Devices
Needless to say, the connectivity ports and remote access options mean you will be able to access the NAS with multiple devices. So, whether it’s accessing your work files during work hours or accessing media files to stream in the evening, you can do them all (and more).
The connectivity options are further backed by the powerful Intel processors and the DDR5 memory, which translates into fast and efficient access by multiple systems.
5. Handy Companion App
The NASync devices are also backed by a handy companion app. From apps that let you manage your photos and videos to your docs, notes, and files, there are a lot.
It’s also worth mentioning that these Network Access System devices also have an integrated smart assistant for efficient search and classification of files and documents.
6. Safe & Secure
Last but not least, the Ugreen NASync NAS devices are safe and secure. The system has the option for safe local storage of data. At the same time, sensitive information is encrypted, preventing unauthorized access.
It’s worth noting that these systems also come with multi-factor authentication and a built-in security manager.
Here’s to Smart Search and Storage
So, these are some of the best things you should know about Ugreen NASync devices. It goes without saying that these devices let you easily store and manage large amounts of data, whether at the office or at home.
The Ugreen NASync Series will launch on Kickstarter.com in mid-March.
