Why is the documentation so abysmally bad

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

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

I know opinion on the UPS is polarized but I got mine installed this week and so far I’m happy with it.

  • 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

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

Did I purchase the wrong NAS?

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

Getting started with Ubiquiti…

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

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

Uninterruptible power supply announced

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

Should I be concerned about hitting the output limit?

The pi 5 uses the a76 at 2.4ghz. which is better than the unas pro a57 1.7ghz. even the pi 4 has the a72 which is above it. Ubiquiti snuck quite an old processor in there lol. But it seems fine for just Nas duties. But the cost of a whole pi set up these days for diy is somewhat less worth it especi
