UNAS Pro

Yeah, just submitted. It's been a frustrating experience with the UNAS line. Starting with this: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubiquiti/comments/1rvioew/unas_4_has_drive_failed_all_four_ssds/ Which I returned both UNAS 4 for the UNAS Pro 8, thinking it would do a better job handling my specific model of SSD (s

A couple of things to note about the Ubiquiti ecosystem: There is NO documentation. You are required to figure out things on your own, ask reddit, ask Ubiquiti community forums, watch influencer dudes on youtube. You are also the official beta tester, because Ubiquiti releases new products fast and

• It's not pure sine wave, and doesn't work with their own UNAS Pro-You can't change when to send shutdown signal. So it shuts down under a minute. So basically not good for anything better than a few seconds.- Power cycles ALL the outlets to try and turn UDM on. This will obviously cause problems wit

Yeah and I’ve definitely experienced that. These POSIX fundamentals are just straight up assumed to be functional by NFS. I wasted my entire UNAS Pro 8 return window chasing my tail on what I thought was some kind of problem with my linux box because it never occurred to me that Ubiquiti would’ve de

It’s not a common issue, they don’t have shutdown features because they are meant to just be unplugged. Anyone with a multi-disk device like a UNVR, UNVR Pro or UNAS Pro would be crazy to leave themselves at risk of an unplanned shutdown - rebuilding those arrays can take days. More and more Ubiquit

The NVME cache seems to have no usefulness for you based on your usage. UI's implementation of it isn't the best either. I would not switch the UNAS Pro for the Pro 4 unless you desperately need the 1U of rack space back: Both are $499. You'll have to deal with the return, and possibly a restocking

My personal choice, is to use a dedicated machine for the cameras, like the UNVR. I don't like to burden the firewall/router with Protect and when I'm playing around with the UNVR it won't affect the rest of the network (like a reboot won't bring the whole internet down). This also makes it easier t

Fucking awful. On the UNAS Pro, all files are effectively owned by unifi-drive:unifi-drive no matter who creates them. You can’t configure NFS exports. No root squash options, no UID/GID mapping, no control over how ownership is handled. So anything that relies on proper POSIX ownership semantics ju

I am not a fan of BTRFS. I am sure that lots of Synology users will disagree with me. My first exposure to BTRFS was with the G-Tech GRACK12, which was BTRFS, and was a disaster of a product. Synology's implementation is much better, and currently - Ubiuqiti is using BTRFS as well for the UNAS PRO p

you don't edit h.264 - you transcode this to a normal editing codec using things like Adobe Media Encoder, EditReady, etc. Resolve will also let you transcode h.264 - or you get stuttering playback. If you are never going to have 2 or more users, you can get away with a 6 drive NAS, but if you are g
