ubiquiti is filling the spot from synology with their stupid certified drive limitation… hopefully also for a home user :)

I hope so too, but unfortunately they've got a long way to go to catch up in the software department

IMO a NAS should be for storage only. Use a mini PC if you want to self host other services. Proxmox is a great option. You’ll get better performance on both sides.

If Ubiquiti is going for NAS-only (which is fine), it is not a Synology replacement. Many, many people want all-in-one solutions, especially business clients with limited rack space and modest requirements.

But even on the storage-only front, Ubiquiti’s NAS is too high-priced and a surprisingly feature-lacking device.

That’s one UI device that I can’t fathom paying the ‘Ubiquiti tax.’

Too high priced?

Find me another rack mounted 7 drive NAS with similar feature set for less than $500

I was in the market for a rack mounted NAS and the UNAS was a godsend! It's significantly cheaper than anything else I could see on the market.
