Editing from a NAS is a question of how fast the footage reaches the computer, so three published figures matter: the network port, whether there is a direct Thunderbolt connection, and whether the NAS can hold a working set on flash. Of the models recorded here, 6 have 10GbE, and three of those, the UGREEN DXP6800 Pro, UGREEN DXP8800 Plus and UGREEN DXP480T Plus, add two Thunderbolt 4 ports. The UGREEN DXP480T Plus and Asustor Flashstor 6 Gen2 are flash only.

What the tables cannot tell you
None of these figures is a measured editing speed. They are what each maker publishes about ports and slots; how a given codec and editor behave over the link is yours to test.
M.2 link width is published for some models and not others. Where a slot is a single PCIe 3.0 lane, a fast drive runs below its rated speed, which matters for a flash working volume. The M.2 page has the figure for each model.
Where the figures come from
Each row is from the maker's own specification page for the model, read on October 12, 2026. Thunderbolt ports are from UGREEN's specification tables.
