The Unifi rackmount NAS looks pretty sweet imho.
That thing looks almost too good to be true for 500. What's the drawback?
Not available in europe? (It actually is available, I just checked)
Loud as fuck?
Bad Software?
You have to sacrifice a goat to it every time a drive hits 829374930 revolutions of its third platter.
Only 7 bays and small rack size. It's a NAS not like Synology + series.
Is that supposed to be a con? I don't even use 4 bays currently and would be perfectly fine with a 4 rackmount NAS. 7 HDD bays sounds great to me
You asked the drawback on a thread about Synology.
Doesn't look like it hooks into their unifi ecosystem which would be a big negative for me.
Edit: the pro does but what that even looks like idk
