Thoughts on new unifi NAS

would be intresting to see unraid on this...

since unifi runs debain os and runs a stack I can see other projects bring a different host OS to the devices architectures...

I think this is arm though...

I’m intrigued.
 

If it existed years ago when I built my Unraid rig, I likely would have went with unifi.

 

Great price, form factor.  Seems like way better bang for buck than synology. 
 

wish it had usb to easily connect an external drive + NVMe for catch. 
 

I will keep an eye out for the gen2.

 

if they offered it, I’d buy just the enclosure.  I can’t seem to find a 2-3U network rack depth hot swap m-itx case 

 

havent explored the unifi nas Os much.  I do run a few docker containers on my unraid nas.  However, I have a second mini pc also running unraid dedicated to a few vm’s (home assistant, Win10) and docker containers (pi-hole, ‘arr)

Any progress on anyone clever doing things with the UNAS Pro?

 

I have a NUC running Unraid as a test rig, wondered if I could use the NUC as my unraid host and then my drives come from a UNAS? Or at least link to that as storage?

With unraid 7 and its ability to remove the array. (At lease 1 disk must exist for its system as a btrfs cache disk!)

The closest I have to this is a type of nested virtualization like setup when running OMV(Debian Open Media Vault) / Truenas Scale and using a VM [with usb passthrough of 1 vdisk used as the single cached disk for docker only.] 

OMV / truenas is then my HDD nas, and severs for samba / nfs shares only, however with the plugin unsigned disk...
Unassigned disk / iscsi Plugin: one could make a samba mount and disk location (but then be prone to network/power failure and rely on the nas for operations.)

SO, with the github page you could in theory get around unifi attribute and boot code and boot a OMV and run a VM like unraid...

Similar with a nuc in your case... But! you'd be looking into more usb attachment like device... Unraid was not build on the premise to use removable usb storage long term in that way... more with how usb power reset a disk and the ability to recover a raid using similar disk to the unstable serial connection when power is lost/disconnected...

Unfortunate, the unifi nas is not that strong of a processor and is a striped down version of their nvr with a nice ui for samba only setups.

Also, sadly, with arm support in kernel 6 it is a more curious generation update with Slackware support and x86 application in arm with a new unraid OS type variant or support in the future. Without unraid support on arm hardware, unraid will not run on unifi...

I'd have you look at other options. unraid 7 running on a nuc with 1 disk for docker cache and Unassigned disk plugin connecting to remote sabma connection is a working system. But your better off adding a adhok separate nic network to unraid and you other nas for dedicated traffic for fill access only...
