After spending the past year with UGREEN's DXP4800 Plus and DH2300 in our own network, this next generation has our full attention. ** Questions** ** No answer selected. Please try again.

That unit, paired with our DH2300, has transformed our approach to file security and remote access. We've even set up a Linux server in a VM on the DXP4800 Plus that acts as a dev platform - syncing between the home unit and our production server so we can iterate on projects faster while maintaining file integrity across environments. So when [UGREEN announced the NASync iDX Series](https://nas.ugreen.com/pages/ugreen-ai-nas-feature-introduction), the specs immediately warranted a closer look. ## Workstation-Level Hardware in a Six-Bay NAS The iDX lineup includes two models. The NASync iDX6011 runs an Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor with 14 cores and 18 threads, available in 32GB or 64GB configurations. The NASync iDX6011 Pro steps up to an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H with 16 cores, 64GB of LPDDR5X memory standard, and a dedicated 3.7-inch LCD status panel. Both models pack six SATA bays plus dual M.2 NVMe SSD slots, dual 10GbE ethernet, dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, a PCIe Gen 4 x8 expansion slot, HDMI 8K output, and an SD card reader. The Pro adds OCuLink connectivity for external GPU expansion - opening the door to GPU-accelerated AI workloads and rendering. For anyone already running a home lab, managing a business network, or hosting media for weekend hangouts with buddies, those specs read more like a workstation than a storage box. ## Smart File Search and Organization That Never Leaves Your Network The real differentiator is what UGREEN calls on-device intelligence. Instead of routing your data through cloud services, the iDX Series processes everything locally using Intel's AI engines - CPU, GPU, and NPU working together. Universal Search lets you find files using natural language rather than digging through folders. Uliya, an on-device AI assistant, can summarize documents, translate files, and answer questions pulled from your stored data. AI Album handles photo recognition - faces, objects, scenes, text - and lets you search your photo library the way you'd search Google Photos, except nothing leaves your network. Whether you're managing work documents, organizing photos from a [Colorado guys trip](https://www.mantripping.com/united-states/colorado.html), or keeping a media server stocked for movie nights with the guys, the processing stays on hardware you control. ## Early Bird Pricing Saves Up to $1,040 Before the Kickstarter Launch UGREEN AI NAS is available for super early bird pre-order on [the official UGREEN website](https://nas.ugreen.com/pages/ugreen-ai-nas-feature-introduction). Here's how the pricing breaks down with a $30 refundable deposit: **iDX6011 (32GB):** $999 super early bird / $1,189 Kickstarter early bird / $1,699 MSRP **iDX6011 (64GB):** $1,199 super early bird / $1,399 Kickstarter early bird / $1,999 MSRP **iDX6011 Pro (64GB):** $1,559 super early bird / $1,819 Kickstarter early bird / $2,599 MSRP The super early bird window runs through March, after which the product launches on Kickstarter for broader availability. Shipping begins in May, with units dispatched in order of payment. The deposit is fully refundable, and you can switch between iDX models after the Kickstarter campaign goes live. ## I'm Using My UGREEN DXP4800 Plus and I Can't Wait To See What They Deliver Next! Having used UGREEN NAS hardware for the past several months, I have found the build quality and software experience with UGOS Pro consistently solid. The [DXP4800 Plus](index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4522:ugreen-nasync-dxp4800-plus-review&catid=16:stuff&Itemid=530) handles everything from file serving to running virtual machines, and the DH2300 makes everyday backup genuinely effortless. The iDX Series represents where personal data infrastructure is heading - and at 29-34 dB under load, it's quiet enough to sit in a home office without becoming a distraction. We're looking forward to getting hands-on with a review unit when these ship. The pre-order pricing is aggressive enough that anyone serious about their home network should take a hard look before the window closes.
