Cloud storage subscriptions drain your wallet while tech giants mine your photos for facial recognition data. The UGREEN NASync iDX6011 flips this script entirely, bringing artificial intelligence directly to your home office without sending a single byte to external servers.

This 6-bay powerhouse runs local large language models that can search through your vacation photos by asking “show me beach sunset pics from Thailand” or transcribe meeting recordings into organized notes. Everything processes on Intel’s Core Ultra 7 255H processor with dedicated NPU and Arc GPU — think of it as ChatGPT for your personal files, minus the privacy nightmare.

Enterprise Specs for Home Users

Dual 10GbE networking and 160TB capacity handle 8K video workflows without breaking a sweat.

UGREEN packed serious connectivity into this aluminum chassis. Dual 10GbE ports aggregate to 20Gbps throughput, meaning that 25GB Blu-ray rip transfers in roughly 10 seconds. Add dual Thunderbolt 4 ports, PCIe expansion slots, and up to 64GB of LPDDR5X RAM, and you’ve got infrastructure that rivals small business servers.

Hot-swappable bays accommodate up to 160TB across six drives, while dual M.2 NVMe slots provide 8GB/second cache performance. Your Plex server will thank you during peak streaming hours when multiple 4K streams barely register on system resources.

User-Friendly Approach to Complex Storage

UGOS Pro interface eliminates the learning curve that typically scares away first-time NAS buyers.

Traditional NAS systems require PhD-level patience to configure properly. UGREEN’s UGOS Pro strips away the intimidation factor while maintaining professional-grade features like RAID redundancy, real-time virus scanning, and granular user permissions.

macOS users get native Time Machine support without wrestling command lines or forum troubleshooting sessions. The interface prioritizes accessibility over endless customization options, making it ideal for users who want enterprise features without becoming system administrators.

Premium Pricing for Privacy Peace of Mind

March 2025 Kickstarter launch started around $999 with significant early-bird discounts available.

Pre-orders opened with $30 deposits securing early-bird pricing up to $1,040 off eventual retail costs. While final MSRP remains unconfirmed, expect premium positioning above basic consumer NAS units but below enterprise gear requiring IT departments.

For context, comparable 6-bay systems from Synology or QNAP typically range from $800-1,500 depending on processor and features. The three-year warranty plus five years of security updates justify the investment for users prioritizing data sovereignty over bargain hunting.

Just remember this targets people willing to pay Tesla prices for Toyota reliability — sometimes peace of mind costs extra.
