# Ugreen NASync DXP8800 Ultra Review: High-End Hardware at a Steep Premium Canonical page: https://savlume.com/items/tsxuua8m7hbs2iglctm7a1fdr Publisher: Savlume Published on Savlume: 2026-10-11T18:49:18.982Z Content updated: 2026-10-11T18:55:36.070Z Source publication time: 2026-10-10T06:15:00.000Z Offer status: Unverified TechRadar tested the Ugreen NASync DXP8800 Ultra, an 8-bay NAS priced at $1,779.99 that updates its predecessor with an Intel Core 7 150U processor and support for up to 96GB of DDR5 RAM. While the reviewer praised the robust aluminum chassis, dual 10GbE ports, dual Thunderbolt 4 connectivity, and PCIe expansion, they found that everyday file-serving speeds remain bound by network limits rather than raw computing power. The source concludes that buyers focused primarily on storage should stick with the cheaper DXP8800 Plus, as the Ultra's premium mainly benefits heavy virtualization, Docker setups, or local AI workloads. ## Media review TechRadar concludes that the Ultra's added processor performance and 96GB memory ceiling may suit specific heavy workloads, but most buyers should choose the less expensive Plus unless they have a clear need for the extra headroom. Attribution: TechRadar Reviews ยท Mark Pickavance AI-assisted summary of source text, not a Savlume hands-on test. - Source-reported strength: The reviewer found that the Ultra matched the Plus's reported transfer performance in testing with four hard drives in RAID 5 and two SSDs used for caching. - Source-reported strength: The eight-bay design, dual 10GbE, Thunderbolt 4, and PCIe expansion provide multiple storage and connectivity options. - Source-reported strength: The reviewer describes UGOS Pro as having matured and notes it has added two-factor authentication and jumbo frames. - Source-reported limitation: The reviewer says ordinary file serving is unlikely to benefit much from the faster processor because the network connection is the limiting factor. - Source-reported limitation: The system does not support ECC memory, and UGOS Pro still lacks WORM volumes, hybrid RAID, and ZFS. - Source-reported limitation: The reviewer says third-party fan and LED plugins made for Plus models had not been tested with the Ultra at the time of writing. ### Does the Ultra offer a meaningful advantage for basic file serving? The reviewer says its performance would be much like the Plus for plain file serving, where the network is the limiting factor. ### Which workloads could benefit from the extra processing power and memory capacity? The review identifies virtualization, local AI, and large stacks of containers as workloads that may benefit. ### Does the Ultra support ECC memory? No. The reviewer says neither the Ultra nor the Plus supports ECC memory. ## Evidence and sources Source report only.
