Ranked #4 in Best 4-Bay NAS Drives
Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen3 (AS6804T)
$1,319.99as of Jun 7

The Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen3 (AS6804T) is the no-compromise power-user pick, with an AMD Ryzen V3C14, ECC DDR5, dual 10GbE plus dual 5GbE, USB4, and four M.2 slots. TechRadar measured 3.1–3.5 GB/s using both 10GbE ports and USB4 together. The catch is the $1,299 diskless price, which TechRadar called a tough pill when capable 4-bays cost around $800 less.

Strengths
  • — AMD Ryzen V3C14 with ECC DDR5 is the most powerful CPU here
  • — Dual 10GbE plus dual 5GbE ports for up to 30GbE of bandwidth
  • — Two USB4 Type-C ports at up to 40Gbps for Thunderbolt storage
Watch-outs
  • — At $1,299 diskless, it is more than twice the price of midrange rivals
  • — Total cost climbs fast once you add drives and SSDs
  • — Overkill for typical home file-storage and backup needs

UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus
$619.99as of Jun 7

The UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus is the clearest value proposition in the category, pairing a 12th-gen Intel Pentium Gold 8505 with 10GbE and 2.5GbE networking and 8GB of DDR5 out of the box. ITPro found it among the fastest enclosures it tested on ATTO benchmarks. The catch is UGOS, which reviewers agree is improving fast but still trails the maturity of Synology and QNAP software.

Strengths
  • — 10GbE plus 2.5GbE networking included out of the box
  • — 12th-gen Intel Pentium Gold 8505 5-core CPU is far faster than rivals' chips
  • — 8GB DDR5 RAM, expandable to 64GB for VMs and containers
Watch-outs
  • — UGOS software is less mature than Synology DSM or QNAP QTS
  • — Newer vendor with a shorter track record in NAS
  • — App ecosystem still trails the established players

How they stack up

Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen3 (AS6804T)

The Lockerstor 4 Gen3 is the performance king, with a stronger CPU and far more networking (dual 10GbE + dual 5GbE) than the UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus, Synology DS923+, QNAP TS-464 or TerraMaster F4-424 Pro. Its price is also more than double theirs, so it only makes sense when you genuinely need the throughput.

UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus

The DXP4800 Plus is the hardware-value leader, beating the Synology DS923+ and QNAP TS-464 on CPU and including 10GbE that the DS923+ charges extra for. It costs far less than the Asustor Lockerstor 4 Gen3 while offering similar 10GbE, and its DDR5 CPU outclasses the TerraMaster F4-424 Pro's, though its UGOS software is less polished than all of them.
