# UGreen NASync DXP4800 Plus Teardown

**[apalrd's adventures](https://daily.dev/sources/apalrd)** · 7 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

A hardware teardown of the UGreen NASync DXP4800 Plus NAS, providing detailed system information gathered from Debian 12 (kernel 6.1). The unit runs an Intel Pentium Gold 8505 (1 P-core + 4 E-cores, 6 threads total) with VT-x virtualization support. Networking is handled by dual NICs: an Intel I226-V (2.5GbE) and an Aquantia AQC113 (10GbE NBase-T). Storage connectivity uses an ASMedia SATA controller over PCIe. Notably, both NICs and both NVMe SSDs each reside in separate IOMMU groups, making PCIe passthrough to VMs straightforward.

## Questions this post answers

### What CPU does the UGreen NASync DXP4800 Plus use?

The UGreen NASync DXP4800 Plus uses an Intel Pentium Gold 8505. It has 1 P-core (2 threads) and 4 E-cores (4 threads), giving 5 cores and 6 threads total, with a max frequency of 4.4 GHz. It supports VT-x virtualization and is based on the Alder Lake architecture.

### Does the UGreen NASync DXP4800 Plus support PCIe passthrough for VMs?

Yes, the DXP4800 Plus has separate IOMMU groups for both NICs (Intel I226-V 2.5GbE and Aquantia AQC113 10GbE) and both NVMe SSDs, making it straightforward to pass any of these devices through to virtual machines individually.

_Those running VMs on NAS hardware track IOMMU and passthrough findings like these on daily.dev._

### What network cards are in the UGreen NASync DXP4800 Plus?

The DXP4800 Plus has two NICs: an Intel I226-V providing 2.5GbE (using the igc kernel driver) and an Aquantia AQC113 providing 10GbE NBase-T (using the atlantic kernel driver). Neither is limited by PCIe bandwidth. The 10GbE Aquantia link runs at PCIe Gen 3 x2 in practice.

_NAS buyers comparing 10GbE options can follow hardware teardowns like this on daily.dev._
