*** Official Ubiquiti Discussion Thread ***

I posted this elsewhere but thought I might get a quicker response here

Switched over to the Lit 1000 package and static ip today. I have a UCG-Ultra and can see my new static ip under WAN, it's my first static ip with the ultra so do I have to make changes anywehere else?

Nope. If you can see the static on your WAN then it's doing it's job.
 
After lots of reading I have dipped my toe in tentatively with flex 2.5 8 port switch and a u7 wall pro, not entirely convinced of getting rid of my mikrotik rb5009 router just yet
 
Oh, UNAS 2, you can't seem to do RAID 0! Damn, this was only a backup for a Synology NAS. Now it is overkill and I might need bigger drives.

*EDIT*

Oh God, UniFi does not support rysnc and Hyper Backup will not backup to remote SMB share. So backing up my Synology has gone out the window.

Give us a rundown as soon as you can.

Well built and well packaged as you'd expect from Ubiquiti, but a bit larger than the UGREEN DXP2800 2 bay NAS I also have. I wish the drives were hot swappable, seems like they've gone for form over function. I didn't check the cage but not sure whether drive 1/2 are easily identifiable or not in case of a HDD swap or failure.

Easy to set up, configure the storage pools, snapshots, cloud sync, shares, users etc. Very straight forward for basic network storage. It's lacking some more advanced options - there's no apps/containers, you can't configure VLANs, sub interfaces or iSCSI for example but this is well known.

Write wise using 2x Toshiba 14TB drives I'm getting around 1.5 Gbps over the network and the full 2.5 Gbps read. I have the same drives in the UGREEN and I can max both ways. Not sure if the CPU in that is better, or if it's TrueNAS/ZFS offering better performance but it's early days.

Looking forward to seeing the OS develop and what direction UniFi go with it.

Figured I might as well ask here as I'm sure you guys will be able to answer this just as quickly.... Looking to change/upgrade my home network, thinking of ubiquiti but need to know if the below setup would work, I currently have a router to wifi bridge setup working fine but I'm starting to notice it struggle with what I'm trying to do.

Location 1 - below idea unless anyone has experience with a NV-320SE from netsys which could remove the flex 2.5G PoE.
Modem (not sure what yet but probably draytek) - Flex 2.5G PoE (wish they did a 5 port) - u7 Pro wall

- wireless connection between Location 1 and Location 2 -

Location 2
- u7 pro wall - dream machine pro max - Pro HD 24 PoE - rest of networked equipment
 
I've come back to the dark side. My venerable Ruckus R710 is starting to flake somewhat, though it's been excellent for an AC 5GHz client (500Mbps per client!) but it's time for a change. UniFi U6-Enterprise ordered for £150 as a nearly new enterprise pull. We'll see how it goes. Local clients are a 2024 M3 MacBook Air, Pixel Pro 9, iPhone 16 Pro Max etc so the 6E should be ample for the next few years. Anything over 100Mbps per client is ample for WiFi imo (our house is hard wired with an optical spine and copper access branches for all important devices), I'm more concerned with reliability, range and density.
 
UniFi Drive Application 3.2.13

Improvements
  • Added support for Drive Encryption on the UNAS2. - i know some wanted that feature.
  • Improved the user experience when browsing files or shared links.
  • Improved drive status reporting in the Storage page.
