UNAS Pro

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

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

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

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

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 They have so many overlapping products, they keep outdated equipment for sale in their store, and some stuff just doesn’t make any sense.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

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

I'm shopping around for a small business NAS to replace our super old exchange server that these days acts only as a glorified file server which at present only holds few hundred megabytes of Word, Excel, and PDF files. The emails were migrated to the Microsoft cloud a few years ago. (we keep our ha

I too am very interested in the cheap/fast 10G NAS box picture. No iSCSI. https://www.storagereview.com/review/ubiquiti-unas-pro-review-streamlined-storage-for-unifi-enthusiasts The performance looks reasonable there (c'mon - it's $500...) but I think I'd miss the Synology app infrastructure. A lot

Don't get me wrong, I've got a love/hate relationship with Ubiquiti, my whole network infrastructure consists of their devices... But overall I don't see a real advantage in the integration into the Unifi GUI. My two cents on this: Data Security excluded (RAID mirroring), any device that's able to p

I recently switched from a Synology DS918+, to a Ubiquiti UNAS Pro and an M4 Pro Mac Mini with 10 GbE. Very happy with the upgrade. I've been very happy with my DS918+ over the last ~5 years, but have moved away from Plex to Infuse, and really wanted everything on a 10 Gbps network as my ISP is now
