Can you make a video showing how to set up an off-site backup to a Synology server?

[weinix]

Can you tell us whats the power consumption with 2, 4 and 7 HDDs in use and idle is?

I love this Videos!
Thank you!

I feel like this is gonna fit my needs very well. Especially with the price point. Wondering when it will be available to order.

Thanks the awesome video!
I'd love to see how the drive mounting works with Unifi Identity, as an MSP, a huge issue we get with our native azure ad users is mapped drives disconnecting (as no more gpo), and our mapping scripts just not always working, having a one click way for a user to mount a share would really solve alot of tickets for us.
Also would be really appreciated if you tested the Azure/Entra ID integration.

Hi Will, can the UNAS Pro be used like a Synology Drive? Example; can the files from one PC sync with another PC at a remote location like using Synology Drive?

[TheSolo]

Didn’t hear you mention drive compatibility, I know ubiquity promotes ubiquity drives. You had Hitachi and Seagate I believe in your NAS. The reason I’m moving away from Synology is their attitude on non-Synology drives. Great review

[davesilver]

Do all drives need to be the same size? If I start with two drive raid how would I add two more drives later?

[doctorno]

All I care about is the performance when the unas pro has it's drives network mapped to a standalone plex server.

[bc]

Can you mount the shared folder remotely (outside the local network). Please show us.

[geoffbernstein]

curious question, can you use the sfp port as an uplink and the ethernet to connect something else to the network?

[davidallen]

How loud are the fans if put in an office environment? Are the desk feet included?

[donpowell]

What are the considerations of picking BTRFS vs. ZFS for this unit?

[brandido]

Do you know if it is possible to sync two of these? basically have a second backing up the first?

[aklem]

For video editing (4k) on UNAS, Raid 5 or Raid 10? I would imagine Raid 10... Or, . what if SSDs are used in Raid 5?

[byronholman]

Will this sync with my google drive and download all of my google drive files to it?

[Lucian-yufi]

Can you please tell me if it has the option to turn off the NAS if they are not used in a certain period of time? I read somewhere that this can be programmed to save energy, is that true?

[Ahmad_Falah]

Can you add drive later like SHR in Synology?
