Ubiquiti Introduces New Desktop NAS Solutions Starting at $199
Ubiquiti has unveiled its first desktop network attached storage (NAS) solutions, starting at $199 for a two-drive model designed to ensure full data backup redundancy, reports 24brussels.
The entry-level UNAS 2 offers a sleek design and accommodates two 3.5-inch hard drives in a RAID 1 configuration. An access panel on the bottom allows for easy insertion of drives, secured by a sliding locking mechanism to prevent them from falling out during use. Additionally, it features a 5 Gbps USB-C port for connecting external storage and requires a single ethernet cable connected to a Power over Ethernet (PoE)-enabled switch; a 60W PoE adapter is included for setups that lack this capability.
The UNAS 2 is equipped with a 1.45-inch screen for real-time performance metrics. For those in need of greater storage, the UNAS 4 will be available later this year for $379, supporting up to four 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch hard drives alongside two M.2 NVMe SSDs. While this model retains similar aesthetics and features to the UNAS 2, Ubiquiti has not disclosed the specific RAID configurations that UNAS 4 will support.
Ubiquiti’s offering of NAS solutions aligns with its existing UniFi product line, which includes routers, switches, and security cameras, aiming to provide comprehensive network solutions for consumers.
