At CES 2026, UGREEN signaled a decisive shift in the evolution of network-attached storage with the launch of two new flagship systems: the NASync iDX6011 and NASync iDX6011 Pro. Positioned as “AI-native” private cloud solutions, these devices go far beyond traditional NAS roles of backup and file sharing. Instead, they reimagine local storage as an intelligent, high-performance data partner—one that understands, organizes, and protects your data entirely on-device, without dependence on the cloud.

From passive storage to intelligent private cloud
As personal and professional data volumes continue to grow, many NAS systems struggle to offer anything more than raw capacity. UGREEN’s NASync iDX Series addresses this gap with a secure Local AI Engine that transforms stored files into an interactive knowledge base. Designed for single creators and families to studios and small businesses, both the iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro combine enterprise-grade performance with fully local AI that keeps sensitive data private and under user control.

At the heart of both systems are Intel® Core™ Ultra processors paired with up to 64GB of LPDDR5x memory. This platform enables real-time AI processing alongside demanding workloads such as media editing, virtualization, and multi-user access. Dual 10GbE networking delivers up to 20Gbps via aggregation, while dual Thunderbolt™ 4 ports provide up to 40Gbps connectivity for ultra-fast external storage and peripherals. With support for six SATA drives and two NVMe SSDs, total storage can scale up to a massive 196TB, making the iDX Series suitable for long-term archives as well as performance-sensitive projects.

AI that lives on the device
What truly differentiates the NASync iDX Series is its approach to artificial intelligence. Instead of relying on cloud-based services, UGREEN’s AI runs entirely on the device. This ensures faster responses, consistent availability, and—most importantly—airtight privacy.
Universal Search allows users to find files the way humans think, not the way folders are structured. You can search using descriptions, concepts, or partial memories, and the system instantly surfaces relevant documents, photos, videos, or app data. Uliya AI Chat, UGREEN’s built-in large language model, enables natural-language interaction with stored content. Users can ask questions about their files, summarize documents, or generate notes, all offline and securely.
For visual content, AI Album automatically recognizes faces, pets, objects, scenes, and even text within images. Typing a phrase like “dad riding a bike” or “whiteboard notes from meeting” retrieves the right photos in seconds. Voice Memos extend these capabilities to audio, allowing recordings to be transcribed, translated, and summarized on-device—ideal for meetings, interviews, classrooms, or personal archives. Meanwhile, AI File Organization keeps everything tidy by automatically sorting uploads by type, date, and name the moment they arrive.

Choosing between iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro
While both models share the same core philosophy, they are optimized for different workloads. The NASync iDX6011, aimed at creators, prosumers and families, is powered by an Intel® Core™ Ultra 5 125H processor and is available with either 32GB or 64GB of LPDDR5x memory. It is aimed at creators, families, and prosumers who want high-speed performance, intelligent organization, and private AI without unnecessary complexity.
The NASync iDX6011 Pro steps up to an Intel® Core™ Ultra 7 255H processor with more cores and higher turbo speeds, paired exclusively with 64GB of memory, and will appeal to studios and production teams, particularly those with AI-intensive workflows. Its standout feature is an OCuLink port that enables low-latency, high-bandwidth connectivity to external GPUs. This allows studios and power users to scale AI inference, rendering, and compute-heavy workflows, effectively turning the NAS into a hybrid storage-and-workstation platform. The Pro model also adds a smart touch LED display that shows system status, resource usage, and network activity at a glance.
Both offer up to 196TB of storage, six SATA drive bays, 128GB system drive capacity, two M.2 SSD drive slots, JBOD/Basic/RAID 0/1/5/6/10, two 10GbE LAN ports, two 40Gbps Thunderbolt 4 ports, two USB 3.2, two USB 2.0, X8 x1 PCIe expansion, SD Card 4.0 slot, 8K HDMI, plus UPS and Docker support.

Performance, security, and design
Beyond raw speed and AI features, UGREEN emphasizes reliability and usability. Both systems support multiple RAID levels for data protection, pro-grade encryption, real-time virus scanning, and flexible permission management. A three-year warranty and five years of security updates underscore their long-term focus.
The hardware itself reflects a premium approach: a durable aluminum-alloy chassis with a matte finish, magnetic dust filtering, and a low-noise hydraulic fan that keeps operation quiet at 29–34 dB. The UGOS Pro interface simplifies setup and daily management, even for users new to NAS systems.

Pricing and availability
Pre-orders for the NASync iDX Series are now open, with significant early savings available. The iDX6011 starts at $999 for the 32GB model, while the 64GB version is priced at $1,199. The iDX6011 Pro with 64GB memory is available for $1,559. A Kickstarter campaign is scheduled to launch in March.
With the NASync iDX6011 and iDX6011 Pro, UGREEN sets a new benchmark for what local storage can be: fast, intelligent, and private by design—an AI-powered private cloud that truly understands your data.
