I think it's biggest feature is it's automatic security configuration for sharing files and links. No messing around with ports, just one click like their vpn.❤

Love your videos. Keep them up. Full of energy !! After all these years you still make superb videos. Thank you

[Vijaythalapathy]

Thank you so much for showing the phone setup as well like doing photos backup. Been watching all the reviews and no of them showed it. Thank you so much. Hopefully they can release like Ui drive like an all in one app.

Get a handle on pipe and water damage in our house we had just renovated and taken over ... or buy a Unifi NAS 🤔😬 I'll have to see if I survive that debate with the wife 😂

As a new subscriber, I really like your videos. Informative and always fun to watch. Perhaps add some information on your real-life experience with power consumption when you review new devices?

[fletschy]

Could you please measure the power consumption with the three hard disks you currently have installed?
Is there a sleep mode where hard disks go into standby mode? If so, what is the power consumption here?

[VictorvanDijkNL]

Have you tried link aggregation using both connections on the NAS?

[dh-net]

Does it run protect so you can use it for that as well as a NAS?
And i wonder if they’ll add UniFi Drive on the NVR devices, as it looks very much like a UNVR Pro. For me just a UNVR (4 bay one) with NAS functionality would be enough :)

[bryandulock]

A file sync client (very much like dropbox) would be great. This would eliminate the need to download/edit/upload a file when working remotely.

[Catchgate]

I understand that 'it is what it is', and if it does the job well, great. Power usage to me seems a bit high, and I would be much happier if I could use Protect and this NAS as a storage solution for the video files. I dont believe that's supported at the moment. Ive seen 10GB transfers hover around the 550GB mark in another review, I'd reaaaally like that to be nearer the 900MB mark, I look forward to an update when you receive the 10GB switch. I run Unifi 10GB, I have 10GB in my TrueNAS server, my Proxmox server, and my main gaming PC. They all pretty much hit the limit with SFP+ and fiber cabling. I'm sure this will tick more boxes as it matures, but it just 'doesnt feel quite there' for the outlay right now. Thanks for the review :)

Would love to see a smaller/cheaper 1U fanless version. And yes I know it's not synology but at least upnp file sharing for video and music would be nice

[RosstituteScotland]

Great video - does this NAS offer capability to access files outwith the network? ie thinking remotely from another device such as mobile phone or tablet?

[pagey]

Is it true it doesn't do iSCSI or NFS?

If so it should be called the "UniFi NAS Home", or "UniFi NAS SMB"

I am fine with it not doing containers or VM's, but not doing NAS features such as iSCSI or NFS, and then calling it a "PRO" NAS is ridiculous

I am even fine with the price point, but the NAS PRO name without iSCSI or NFS is ridiculous

[ArnoSchmidt]

Great video! I would love to see how to build RAID arrays. What RAID levels are available? Is it possible to mix and match different HDD sizes?

[MatsAkerberg]

Lars you really need a USW-Pro-Aggregation 😄

[TheSpanishmuscle]

This device should be able to run protect also

[TinyWorkshop]

is there a way to greacefully shut down the nas in case of a power outage? I mean with a ups of course

[Stephen-Jones]

So when are you getting the 10gb switch? 😜
I really need to get my computer hardware at home sorted.

[Walterz]

Really nice device but the 500 price bracket is out of reach for some people hopefully they make a ultra even if it only takes two or four drives

[noelreynolds]

Do you think the Dream Machine Pro Max will ever be able to do storage on a smaller scale, just with 1 or 2 disks. The Pro Max is powerful and has 2 hdd bays. Would be great to do this on the Pro Max, then upgrade to this if needed. Thanks
