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

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

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

Talk me out of buying a UNAS Pro.

Deployed a UNAS Pro 8 on 12.17.25 and ran into this same issue. Considering it has 3 network interfaces I naturally assumed management and data traffic could be separated. In my scenario I was going to place management on the single ethernet connection and data on the 2 SFP+ connections in aggregrat

Does anybody have a sense whether the UNAS Pro will stick around for another year or so?

The UNAS Pro 8 is what I wanted years ago: thoughts from an ex-Synology and current 36-bay Unraid user

Should have looked here before I set mine up on 12.17.25. This UNAS Pro 8 has the fit and finish of a quality appliance BUT the hardware & interface are total bullshit. Reminds me when Unifi launched their Industrial PTZ 5-years ago at a cost of $1800 with aged hardware and minimal features. It took

Not unless Ubiquiti updates the UNAS Pro to offer iSCSI and improves the throughput! :)

PSA: Graceful shutdown NOT supported for all UNAS/UNVR products for UPS 2U

TL;DR: The UNAS Pro 8 is a poor choice for a serious NAS. Ubiquiti engineers confirmed to me directly: • No Safe Shutdown support with any UPS (including third-party). • No UPS communication at all — it’s a hardware limitation. • No future plans to add Safe Shutdown, it’s an hardware limitation. • I
