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

I have installed tons of QNAP's for professional users. They are rock solid. There are a lot of people that don't know how to install equipment. I see this on reviews - I see this on these forums. I see this about Ubiquiti - people think that they go out and buy a Dream Machine Pro, and some switche

This is the same thing they did with the NAS lineup. It offers absolutely nothing of advantage Utterly false. The UNAS Pro 8 at $800 is EXTREMELY compelling package just from a hardware standpoint. Off the top of my head, the Aoostar WTR max is probably the closest thing in terms of value propositio

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 They have so many overlapping products, they keep outdated equipment for sale in their store, and some stuff just doesn’t make any sense.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

The UDM-Pro is still a fantastic option. I wouldn't have any hesitations about buying one today. While it's getting older, I suspect that it'll continue to get support for years seeing as Ubiquiti released the UNAS Pro NASes using the same CPU. If you're willing to go with something that isn't rackm

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
