UniFI UNAS Pro Videos Coming Soon:

My Current UnifI Setup

[LordSaliss]

Would be cool for them to enable Shadow Mode/HA for the UNAS Pro instead of just backup scheduling. Where it would auto replicate files to the secondary unit as it detects changes and if the primary goes down the secondary auto takes over, when the primary comes up it keeps using the secondary until it replicates all the newer files back over to the primary.

I currently have Unifi stuff and am extremely glad they made this.
I have had unifi products for several years now and one thing that I love about them is they keep a lot of their equipment updated and adding features on older equipment.

[ivangutowski]

It's sad when you look up something to watch whilst eating dinner, and you think yes... in depth networking should do it ha ha

[Tundel]

Today still not convinced paying for this new toy. Hopefully after six or twelve months timeline Ubiquiti can build up some good software package for user satisfying usage this nas

[pospitchp]

UNAS Pro seems perfect for me. I'm searching for not expensive, power efficient, 4+ bays NAS with 10G SFP and there was nothing even close to this price tag, except building my own NAS. So this has everything I need, I only wish it would have at least one M.2 slot for SSD. Apps like Immich and Plex I can install on SBC I already have, it has two 2.5 GbE ports on board, so that's more than enough for those apps.

The limited function would be a feature for a lot of business setups. Single function devices are more stable in my experience. It’s not a race horse, but looks to be fast enough to get the job done.

[webanon]

Looking forward to this video. I've been trying to decide on buying a second Synology for remote/duplicate backup, or changing ecosystems altogether...

[Vijaythalapathy]

Can we do phone backup as well like photos and videos.

[haberda]

Do we know what the underlying filesystem is on the drives? BTRFS? EXT4? Something else?

[IrateCitizen]

I haven’t seen this addressed anywhere, but can you have too many backups? I’m totally invested in Synology and UniFi, and at the price point of this device it can easily be a proActive Protect device. No? Compare costs of a full NAS backup offsite. Heck, with a couple of these at different locations sneakernet can be used for restoration. Never under estimate the bandwidth of a fully loaded stationwagen … Thoughts?

[driver]

Hold on now. The identity part does NOT say Enterprise. Does that mean that you can create users for the NAS from EntraID or log in with EntraID without enterprise subscription on the NAS?

[rhb.digital]

does link sharing etc. work when doing through reverse proxy ? was this tested . Thnx. I assuming there will be limit on possible upload/download traffic ?

[jorgemtds]

Is there any option to put the drives in standby mode after a specified period of inactivity? That would help save power in a home environment.
That's a useful option on my current WD EX4100.

[Tkrbu]

Can you take all the drives from one UNAS and plug it into another UNAS and be up and running? synology can do this

[Tkrbu]

If you stick in a new drive, how long does it take to initialize it? With my Synology it's like 24+ hours for a new 12tb drive

[thedeejlam]

UniFi has a cult following that, at times, feels Apple-esque. It's good to know people can still critique the stuff when appropriate.

[doctorno]

Care to test how this thing handles media when a plex server has it mapped and servers up streamed content from the unas to clients?

I'd be very interested in the user experience.

[ivangutowski]

I hope they make a 4 bay version slightly cheaper :D

[ColbyPerry]

Does it currently support SMB Multichannel?

[dosperado]

I need Raid 6 and folder this is no replacement option for my Synology NAS...so Ubiquiti get back to work :)
