The catch
UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus
A mirrored SSD pair uses up both onboard M.2 slots.
Side by side
UGREEN DXP4800 Plus vs TerraMaster F2-425 Plus Compared: More hard drives fit in UGREEN, and more onboard SSDs fit in TerraMaster
Quick verdict
If a four-hard-drive archive or an included 10GbE connection is your constraint, pick the DXP4800 Plus. If two hard drives are enough and three M.2 slots plus dual 5GbE better match the office, pick the F2-425 Plus. The TerraMaster holds more onboard SSDs, and the UGREEN has more room for a protected bulk archive.
Before you buy
Why, and what it costs you
Different bays suit a photo archive and a scratch workspace
In DXP4800 Plus, four equal 8TB SATA drives in RAID 5 can give about 24TB before overhead. In F2-425 Plus, two equal 8TB SATA drives in RAID 1 give about 8TB.
Where this comes from
Here four-drive RAID 5 is set against two-drive RAID 1, all with equal 8TB SATA drives. M.2 storage is counted on its own.
The catch
TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB
A mirrored archive in two SATA bays only gets the capacity of one drive.
UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus
- Why pick it
- Set up a parity array across four hard drives
- Link a workstation over the included 10GbE
- The catch
- A mirrored SSD pair uses up both onboard M.2 slots.
TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB
- Why pick it
- Work with three onboard M.2 SSD slots
- Hold on to two included 5GbE connections
- The catch
- A mirrored archive in two SATA bays only gets the capacity of one drive.

In practice
Differences you will notice
Different bays suit a photo archive and a scratch workspace
In DXP4800 Plus, four equal 8TB SATA drives in RAID 5 can give about 24TB before overhead. In F2-425 Plus, two equal 8TB SATA drives in RAID 1 give about 8TB.
How we worked this out
Here four-drive RAID 5 is set against two-drive RAID 1, all with equal 8TB SATA drives. M.2 storage is counted on its own.
One fast editing station and two separate paths make for different briefs
DXP4800 Plus includes one 10GbE connection and a second 2.5GbE connection, whereas F2-425 Plus has two 5GbE connections.
How we worked this out
Included physical interfaces come to 10 plus 2.5GbE on one side and 5 plus 5GbE on the other. Adding up their rates is not used as a single-client performance claim.
An SSD slot can stay free in the smaller chassis
A two-SSD mirror takes both UGREEN M.2 slots and leaves one spare in F2-425 Plus. TerraMaster is the choice if that third slot has a separate, supported workload and backup plan.
How we worked this out
Take two mirrored drives from two M.2 slots and zero are left. Take them from three slots and one is left. The calculation is about physical slots and makes no claim about SSD speed.

Spec by spec
Where they really differ
| Spec | UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus | TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB | In practice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SATA bays | Four | Two | Only UGREEN's internal SATA bays have room for a four-drive parity array. |
| Included Ethernet | One 10GbE and one 2.5GbE | Two 5GbE | It comes down to one faster path or two equal 5GbE interfaces. |
| M.2 slots | Two | Three | On the smaller SATA chassis there are more onboard M.2 slots. |
| Supplied memory | 8GB | 8GB | Since both start with the same memory quantity, storage and networking make more useful points of difference. |
Trade-offs
What each pick costs you
With UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus
- Just one of the included network ports is 10GbE.
With TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB
- None of the included ports negotiates a 10GbE link.
Change of plan
When the answer changes
Four SATA bays are what my protected hard-drive archive needs
Go with UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus. The four internal bays required are on DXP4800 Plus.
I can get by with two hard drives but need three M.2 slots
Go with TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB. The extra onboard SSD slot comes with F2-425 Plus.
Decision guide
How to decide
Different bays suit a photo archive and a scratch workspace
In the DXP4800 Plus, four equal 8TB SATA drives can provide about 24TB in RAID 5 before overhead. In the F2-425 Plus, two equal 8TB SATA drives provide about 8TB in RAID 1. Choose UGREEN when the protected bulk archive needs that extra capacity. TerraMaster's third M.2 slot helps with SSD work, but it does not turn its two hard-drive bays into a four-drive archive.
One fast editing station and two separate paths make for different briefs
The DXP4800 Plus comes with one included 10GbE connection and a second 2.5GbE connection, while the F2-425 Plus comes with two 5GbE connections. Choose UGREEN for a single workstation or switch uplink that must negotiate 10GbE. Choose TerraMaster if two separate 5GbE interfaces suit a specific network design. The sum of port labels is not a promised speed for one file copy either way, and the switch and client adapters still need to match.
An SSD slot can stay free in the smaller chassis
A two-SSD mirror takes up both UGREEN M.2 slots but leaves one spare in the F2-425 Plus. Choose TerraMaster if that third slot has a separate, supported workload and backup plan. Choose UGREEN if the four-drive archive matters more and one SSD pair is enough. A single spare SSD is still its own failure risk and should not quietly become the only copy of project files.
What this page can’t tell you
- Copy speed, workload concurrency and memory-upgrade performance are not promised. Capacity examples leave out system and filesystem overhead.
