UNAS Pro 8?

the problem here is the Annapurna Cortex A-57, which is what is used in low end QNAP and Synology systems. At least the UNAS Pro 8 has a 10G copper ethernet port. For applications like professional video editing, SSD caching has proven to do nothing - and in fact, slow down a system. I understand th

Best UNAS setup for global video editing Agency?

global video editing agency ? Future proofing ? And you are in charge of this ? Oh boy. The UNAS Pro 8 is not qualified for professional video editing. You are now speaking to a person that sets up NAS systems for professional video editors and post production facilities, and I use Ubiquiti 10G and

UNAS Pro 8?

The thing is Ubiquiti is still at a lower price than the QNAPs and Synology running the same or similar SoC. A QNAP TS-832PXU-4G is $939 on Amazon with the same SoC. The UNAS Pro 8 will be $799. The QNAP doesn't come with any NVME sockets and you can't add a 2nd PSU to that model later. You have to

SSD caching, now that we have two NAS with nvme caching?

He’s asking “Hey, we got SSD caching on these new boxes; do you think Ubiquiti will allow SSD caching (using one of the 7 bays on the original UNAS PRO) on the original hardware next?” And the answer: incredibly unlikely. NVME vs SATA speeds are the primary reason.

5.6L 44TB SSD NAS/Home Server

SFF is never cost effective. This was far, far more expensive than a UNAS. It can also do vastly more than a UNAS can do and is vastly faster. Ubiquiti's NAS lineup is pure network attached storage in the truest sense. It cannot run any other apps, VMs, containers, etc. This machine can do all of th

UDM Beast, EFG, UCG Fiber

I see what you are saying, I'm not trying to be confrontational as well, let's put aside benchmark with iperf3, let' s go to real use cases. Some native forms of file transfers are single stream, some can use more than one stream, if on single stream the ARM cpu can't handle it, why not offload it t

EFG throughput deficits

I purchased my EFG last year around this time and it did come with the 64GB of memory (so it must have been after the first wave of EFGs that shipped with the smaller memory size). As much as I like the EFG product as a whole, the performance has always been lacking and I have not been happy after d

UNAS 4 Pro 2.5gig adapter

yeah, you can absolutely do that. i ran into this same thing when i got my UNAS Pro. the 10G SFP+ port will happily negotiate down to 2.5G with the right adapter. the one on the Ubiquiti store (the UF-RJ45-10G) is exactly what you need - it’s designed for this. just plug it into the SFP+ cage, use a

Model lineup

Ubiquiti has the worst product team I have ever seen at a successful company. They have so many overlapping products, they keep outdated equipment for sale in their store, and some stuff just doesn’t make any sense. Why is the UXG/UCG Fiber a barrel connector for power instead of just USB-C like a b

Synology Reverses Policy Banning Third-Party HDDs After NAS sales plummet

Too late for my case where I was picking a rack mount NAS. Picked QNAP TS-832PXU-4G as the main NAS and UNAS PRO from ubiquiti as a backup, secondary use... just cuz it was like 500€. Hate that it does not have iscsi, love that it has SFP+ but its really solid thing and absolutely nothing can beat i
