Ubiquiti UniFi UNAS 2 review

Ubiquiti UniFi UNAS 2 is a file server first and not much else, which keeps the price low. Ubiquiti's tech specs list two 3.5" drive bays, one 2.5 GbE port, a 5 Gbps USB-C port, a quad-core ARM Cortex-A55 at 1.7 GHz and 4 GB of memory. It is powered over PoE++ and ships with a 60W PoE++ adapter, so it can also draw power from a compatible switch. Through UniFi Drive it offers personal and shared drives, file encryption, snapshots, share links, Time Machine backup and backup to another UNAS, an SMB server or cloud services including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2 and Wasabi. The limits are clear in the specs: RAID 1 is the only RAID type, and there is no HDMI output or app platform listed. The Ubiquiti US Store showed $199.00, or $219.00 with its surcharge. We compared documented features and published prices; we did not test the NAS ourselves.
