UGREEN NAS HDD Kit DXP4800 Plus+ with 4 x Western Digital WD80EFPX 8TB drives (model 35261& 4x WD80EFPX)

UGREEN NAS HDD Kit DXP4800 Plus+ with 4 x Western Digital WD80EFPX 8TB drives is a pre-configured multi-bay storage solution designed for continuous NAS operation. The kit combines the DXP4800 Plus+ NAS enclosure with four high-capacity 8TB drives tuned for network-attached storage workloads. It supports consolidated storage for file sharing, scheduled backups, media streaming and RAID arrays to increase redundancy and usable capacity. The drives in this kit are optimized for 24/7 operation and sustained read/write workloads typical in home labs, small offices and multimedia servers.

Advantages

The integrated kit simplifies deployment by pairing a NAS enclosure with drives already selected for NAS reliability and sustained performance. High aggregate capacity allows centralizing large media libraries and backup pools while RAID options enable balancing fault tolerance and usable space. The drives’ design for continuous operation reduces the need for frequent replacements under typical NAS workloads. The DXP4800 Plus+ enclosure adds multi-bay management, network access, and compatibility with common RAID levels to support varied storage policies.

Suitable for

• Home media servers and personal cloud storage
• Small office file sharing and centralized backup
• Network-attached surveillance storage with long retention
• Content creators requiring large local libraries and fast access
• RAID configurations for redundancy and capacity scaling

Key specifications

• NAS enclosure: multi-bay form factor with RAID support and network connectivity
• Drive type: 3.5-inch NAS-optimized hard drives designed for continuous operation
• Individual drive capacity: 8 TB each; total raw capacity when unconfigured: 32 TB
• Interface: SATA III (6 Gbps) per drive for standard NAS compatibility
• Intended workloads: sustained read/write and multi-user access typical for NAS environments
• Power and cooling: designed for consistent operation with NAS thermal and power profiles

How to use

Install the four 8 TB drives into the DXP4800 Plus+ drive bays following the enclosure’s installation instructions, ensure proper seating and secure mounting, then connect the NAS to your network and power source. Access the NAS management interface via the provided web or software utility to initialize drives, choose a RAID level that matches your needs (for example RAID 5 for a balance of capacity and redundancy), format volumes, and create user shares. Configure network access, backup schedules and media indexing according to your usage. Monitor drive health and NAS status through the management software to maintain reliability.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, place the NAS in a ventilated location, maintain firmware and software updates for both the NAS enclosure and drive firmware, and implement a backup strategy that stores critical data offsite or on a separate device. Choose RAID levels based on whether redundancy or maximum capacity is the priority, and enable SMART monitoring and scheduled integrity checks to detect issues early.
