Chinese tech manufacturer UGREEN has launched the NASync iDX6011 Pro, a groundbreaking hybrid device that blurs the lines between network-attached storage (NAS), compact workstation, and private AI server. This 6-bay flagship combines powerful hardware with on-device AI processing, offering users a fully private and controlled environment for data management and artificial intelligence applications. Powered by an Intel Core Ultra 7 255H processor, 64 GB LPDDR5X RAM, and 96 TOPS of local AI performance, the system supports up to 212 TB of storage, positioning it as one of the most powerful NAS solutions available.
The iDX6011 Pro features advanced connectivity options including 10-Gbit Ethernet and Thunderbolt 4, enabling fast data transfer and direct connection to high-end computers. Compared to the base model, the Pro variant includes an integrated touchscreen and OCuLink ports, enhancing system scalability and user experience. The devices are currently available for pre-order, with shipping scheduled for May. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price for the Pro model is €2,599, placing it firmly in the premium NAS market segment.
In real-world testing, the device delivered impressive NAS performance with fast access speeds and stable network operation. However, its local AI features—designed to analyze and categorize data and photos—showed limitations, particularly in image recognition and organization. This suggests the AI software may still be under development or requires specific user tuning. Nevertheless, the device remains highly appealing for users prioritizing data privacy and local processing, as it does not transmit data to the cloud.
The introduction of the iDX6011 Pro represents a significant step forward in the evolution of private, AI-powered storage solutions. While traditional NAS systems focus primarily on data backup and sharing, UGREEN positions itself as a provider of next-generation intelligent, local computing hubs. For creatives, tech enthusiasts, and businesses handling sensitive data, the device offers a promising tool. The combination of high performance, expandable hardware, and on-device AI makes the iDX6011 Pro a true all-rounder in the high-end market.
