Main trade-off
UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus
A mirrored SSD pair fills both onboard M.2 slots.
Head-to-head
UGREEN DXP4800 Plus vs TerraMaster F2-425 Plus: UGREEN holds more hard drives, TerraMaster holds more onboard SSDs
The short answer
Choose DXP4800 Plus when a four-hard-drive archive or included 10GbE connection is the constraint. Choose F2-425 Plus when two hard drives are enough and three M.2 slots plus dual 5GbE better match the office. The TerraMaster can hold more onboard SSDs, while the UGREEN has more room for a protected bulk archive.
Before you choose
The reasoning and the trade-offs
A photo archive and a scratch workspace need different bays
Four equal 8TB SATA drives in DXP4800 Plus can provide about 24TB in RAID 5 before overhead. Two equal 8TB SATA drives in F2-425 Plus provide about 8TB in RAID 1.
What this is based on
The example uses four-drive RAID 5 versus two-drive RAID 1 with equal 8TB SATA drives. M.2 storage is counted separately.
Main trade-off
TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB
Two SATA bays limit a mirrored archive to one drive's capacity.

What matters in practice
The differences that matter
A photo archive and a scratch workspace need different bays
Four equal 8TB SATA drives in DXP4800 Plus can provide about 24TB in RAID 5 before overhead. Two equal 8TB SATA drives in F2-425 Plus provide about 8TB in RAID 1.
How we reached this conclusion
The example uses four-drive RAID 5 versus two-drive RAID 1 with equal 8TB SATA drives. M.2 storage is counted separately.
One fast editing station and two separate paths are different briefs
DXP4800 Plus provides one included 10GbE connection and a second 2.5GbE connection. F2-425 Plus provides two 5GbE connections.
How we reached this conclusion
The included physical interfaces are 10 plus 2.5GbE versus 5 plus 5GbE. Adding their rates is not used as a single-client performance claim.
The smaller chassis can leave an SSD slot free
Installing a two-SSD mirror occupies both UGREEN M.2 slots, while leaving one spare in F2-425 Plus. Choose TerraMaster if that third slot has a separate, supported workload and backup plan.
How we reached this conclusion
Two M.2 slots minus two mirrored drives leaves zero. Three minus two leaves one. This is a physical slot calculation, not an SSD speed claim.

Meaningful differences
What changes the fit
| What changes | UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus | TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| SATA bays | Four | Two | A four-drive parity array fits only in UGREEN's internal SATA bays. |
| Included Ethernet | One 10GbE and one 2.5GbE | Two 5GbE | The choice is one faster path versus two equal 5GbE interfaces. |
| M.2 slots | Two | Three | The smaller SATA chassis has more onboard M.2 slots. |
| Supplied memory | 8GB | 8GB | Both start with the same memory quantity, so storage and networking are more useful starting differences. |
What you give up
Every choice has a cost
If you choose UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus
- Only one included network port is 10GbE.
If you choose TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB
- No included port negotiates a 10GbE link.
Recommendation switch
The decision flips if...
My protected hard-drive archive needs four SATA bays
Choose UGREEN NASync DXP4800 Plus. DXP4800 Plus has the four internal bays required.
Two hard drives are enough but I need three M.2 slots
Choose TerraMaster F2-425 Plus N150 8GB. F2-425 Plus provides the extra onboard SSD slot.
What matters in practice
How to make the call
A photo archive and a scratch workspace need different bays
Four equal 8TB SATA drives in DXP4800 Plus can provide about 24TB in RAID 5 before overhead. Two equal 8TB SATA drives in F2-425 Plus provide about 8TB in RAID 1. Choose UGREEN when the protected bulk archive needs that extra capacity. TerraMaster's third M.2 slot is useful for 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 are different briefs
DXP4800 Plus provides one included 10GbE connection and a second 2.5GbE connection. F2-425 Plus provides two 5GbE connections. Choose UGREEN for a single workstation or switch uplink that must negotiate 10GbE. Choose TerraMaster if two separate 5GbE interfaces meet a specific network design. Neither sum of port labels is a promised speed for one file copy, and the switch and client adapters still need to match.
The smaller chassis can leave an SSD slot free
Installing a two-SSD mirror occupies both UGREEN M.2 slots, while leaving one spare in F2-425 Plus. Choose TerraMaster if that third slot has a separate, supported workload and backup plan. Choose UGREEN if the four-drive archive is more important and one SSD pair is enough. A single spare SSD remains a separate failure risk and should not quietly become the only copy of project files.
What this comparison cannot tell you
- No copy speed, workload concurrency or memory-upgrade performance is promised. Capacity examples omit system and filesystem overhead.
