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

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

I don’t get the ubiquiti NAS hate TBH. They’re missing some features, but as far as off-the-shelf NAS units go, they’re pretty cheap per drive bay. Like you could get the 7 bay UNAS Pro and a Mac mini for the price of a 6+ bay synology and the result would consume less power than the synology. There

Ubiquiti has their UNAS Pro, and they've had a far better track record than synology does. It'll still be a risk of course, but it should be a smaller one.

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 They have so many overlapping products, they keep outdated equipment for sale in their store, and some stuff just doesn’t make any sense.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

Any time. For what it's worth, I bought the UNAS Pro (7 bay) more recently, because I feel it meets all of my needs. In order to protect myself from first-gen product problems or other risks, I bought UI Care for $99, which extended it to a 5 year warranty. If it has a problem in year 4 and they don
