Cloud AI services rifle through your personal photos to organize them—but the NASync iDX6011 Pro keeps that intelligence entirely on your desk. Ugreen’s latest 6-bay NAS processes everything locally with 96 TOPS of AI performance, eliminating the privacy concerns and subscription fees that plague cloud-based solutions.
Local AI That Actually Works
Natural language searches and OCR processing happen on-device without internet dependency.
Beyond marketing buzzwords about “smart storage,” the NASync runs full LLM models locally. You can search photos by asking “show me pictures of Jake from the concert last month” or “find documents mentioning Q3 budgets.” Voice transcription, document summaries, and automated tagging all process on Intel’s Core Ultra 7 255H processor without sending your data anywhere. Think ChatGPT’s organizational skills locked in your home office.
Performance Built for Real Workflows
Intel Core Ultra 7 255H and dual 10GbE ports deliver 2500MB/s network speeds for demanding creative work.
These specs read like a workstation disguised as storage:
- Up to 64GB LPDDR5X RAM
- 160TB raw capacity across six hot-swappable bays
- Dual Thunderbolt 4 ports
- Dual 10GbE networking enables link aggregation for genuine multi-gigabit speeds
The OCuLink port lets you attach external GPUs for video rendering—turning your NAS into a remote powerhouse that multiple editors can access simultaneously.
Professional Features, Consumer Polish
UGOS Pro software eliminates the command-line complexity that scares creators away from traditional NAS systems.
Setting up a NAS once meant wrestling with cryptic interfaces for hours. Ugreen’s UGOS Pro handles the technical complexity while exposing the features creators actually need. Tool-less drive installation, guided RAID setup, and seamless Mac integration make this feel more like premium Apple hardware than enterprise server equipment. The aluminum chassis runs whisper-quiet at 29-34dB—perfect for home studios where microphones pick up everything.
Premium Investment for Premium Needs
Starting at $999 diskless, the NASync targets power users managing terabytes of creative assets.
For users managing terabytes of 8K footage, collaborative editing projects, or running home labs that need serious compute power, the March 2025 availability and three-year warranty make this compelling. Casual users seeking basic backup should look elsewhere—this represents overkill for family photos and document storage. The real question: Can local AI chips justify the premium over established players like Synology? For privacy-conscious creators tired of cloud subscriptions, it just might.
