Why this top NAS release makes it easier to ditch your paid cloud services

Cloud storage is a game-changer, providing a simple and effective way to back up your files without much resistance. I’ve been relying on it for over a decade now, and it handles all my files from my phone, laptop, camera, and more. However, over the past couple of years, I’ve had to manage my storage, making room by clearing out the old, so I can continue to store everything new.

Sure, I could just pay for more cloud storage, but we’re not quite at that point yet. Of course, with that said, I’ve been thinking about moving everything off of the services I pay for and buying or building my own personal NAS. While the upfront cost is pretty pricey nowadays, over time, it becomes a no-brainer, especially with the hardware and software available.

This Ugreen is a pretty solid one to go for

Now, a lot of brands are going to be thrown around when it comes to recommendations, like Synology, QNAP, and Buffalo. But I think this one from Ugreen is going to be a fairly solid choice, especially since it’s now on sale for a limited time.

Ugreen is better known for its mobile accessories like chargers and power banks, but the brand has slowly been expanding its lineup to include PC accessories as well. But what’s been surprising is that the brand’s NAS setups are getting pretty solid reviews.

Not only has the software matured quite a bit since its first release, but the brand continues to push forward with new hardware. The Ugreen DXP4800 GT is a 4-bay model that features an AMD R2514 chip, 8GB of DDR4 RAM, and two M.2 SSD expansion slots as well.

You also get dual 10GbE Ethernet ports, USB-A, USB-C, SD card slot, and 4K HDMI. The UGOS software will allow you to configure and customize this NAS for all types of uses. Whether it’s for backing up your files, launching a media center, or controlling your home lab, this NAS can do it all.

The best part is that the price is quite reasonable, with a solid discount available during Prime Day. This model has a retail price of $660. Right now, Amazon is discounting it to $590. This is one of the best prices we’ve seen on this model.
