New features of the Ugreen DXP4800 Pro compared to the previous DXP4800 Plus model:

• 1. Major Hardware Upgrades (The CPU)
  The most significant change is the move to a more modern processor, which drives several other performance improvements:
  • Processor: Upgraded to a 13th Generation Intel i3 (6-core, 8-thread).
    • Comparison: The previous “Plus” model used an Intel Pentium 8505 (5-core, 6-thread).
  • Improved Graphics: The i3 provides increased integrated graphics capability (Intel Quick Sync), allowing for smoother 4K and 8K hardware transcoding.
  • Higher Clock Speeds: The new CPU offers a marginal increase in clock speed and better overall power efficiency during tasks.
• 2. Memory (RAM) Improvements
  • Capacity Increase: The system now supports up to 96GB of DDR5 SODIMM memory.
    • Comparison: The previous model was capped at 64GB.
  • Transfer Speeds: Supports marginally larger and faster memory transfer speeds due to the 13th Gen architecture.
  • Base Configuration: Arrives with 8GB of DDR5 RAM out of the box.
• 3. Storage & Internals
  • The “Hidden” OS Drive: The unit actually contains three M.2 slots. One is a 128GB Gen 3×4 drive dedicated strictly to the OS.
    • Benefit: Users can install alternative operating systems (like TrueNAS or Unraid) on this drive without invalidating the hardware warranty or taking up the two main user-accessible NVMe slots.
  • User NVMe Bays: Two M.2 NVMe bays (Gen 4×4) located on the bottom. Performance tests hit 5.5 to 6 GB/s in synthetic tests.
  • Cooling: Includes very thick thermal pads in the accessory kit designed to bridge the gap between the NVMe drives and the metal base panel for better heat dissipation.
  • Build Material: The reviewer notes the metal chassis feels like a “different material” than the Plus—not necessarily better or worse, but a refreshed texture/finish.
• 4. Connectivity & Ports
  • Networking: Features a 10GbE port alongside a 2.5GbE port on the rear.
  • USB: Multiple 10Gbps USB Type-A and Type-C ports.
  • SD Slot: A built-in SD card slot remains on the front for easy media ingest.
• 5. Software Features (UGOS 2026)
  • Virtualization: Now includes a native Virtual Machine application, allowing users to take advantage of the i3’s extra cores.
  • Jellyfin Integration: One-click installation via the App Center. Tests showed that hardware transcoding an 8K file only utilized about 8–12% of the GPU.
  • Snapshots: Full support for BTRFS snapshots with a dedicated scheduling and retention policy interface.
  • Enhanced AI: Improved Edge AI for photo recognition (faces and objects) and the ability to create “customized individual learning tools” by adding your own images to the database.
  • iSCSI Support: Native support for iSCSI targets and LUNs for professional photo/video editing workflows.
• 6. Power & Performance Specs
  • Power Consumption: Due to the more powerful CPU, power draw is higher.
    • Idle: ~28W.
    • Peak (Full Load): ~83–84W.
  • Noise Levels: Generally quiet (32–34 dBA at idle), but the fans can ramp up to 46–49 dBA under heavy cooling loads.
• Summary of Price
  Launch Price: Approximately $699 (roughly $100 more than the “Plus” model).
