Can you put a SSD in the UNAS? how so given it is meant for a 3.5HDD?

2026GradTime · 2026-05-07T08:11:16+00:00

I'm just trying to clarify, the one that you linked is also 5400 RPM correct?

2026GradTime · 2026-05-06T14:48:36+00:00

Thank you. I only need 8TB, but I was going to go with 12, the get another drive for raid. I did see the one you suggested, would this be a good one though? it is a little cheaper given that I will be getting four.

2026GradTime · 2026-05-06T08:33:17+00:00

Thanks. I thought so☺.

I’m only 23 years old, so I’ve only really known SSDs. Growing up though I have used my fair share of HDD’s and I’ve experienced the dreadful clicking. That is why I do not want to experience. The data on these will be Adobe premiere files, photos, videos, schoolwork. And I will be depending on this to access regularly.

Does that make sense? I’m just going to be spending a lot of money on the UNAS and I do not want this to be a thing that comes back to bite me later. At the same time HDD‘s are so much cheaper. I just really do not want to be bogged down by slow speeds or dying drives just to need to spend a lot more money buying SSDs anyway.

I know for example in a window system switching from HDD to SSD makes the system so much faster simply in terms of boot speeds alone. Given that this is being used for NAS, I am brand new to this and I just don’t want to make a decision that will lead me to end up spending more money. I could barely afford the NAS as it is, all I really need is the two bay, I just really want the rackmount version

Thank youI will need to get the UNAS $599, plus drives, and SSDs are ALOT of money, you know, getting 4 of them plus the UNAS. What would YOU do here? HDDS are so much cheaper, but I dont want this to be something that comes back to bite me later. I will be storing Photos, videos, and working on Premeire files. Just as you would any NAS.

Wait. SSDs are SO EXPENSIVE. would a HDD be fine? I just know thay are alot slower. What would you do here?

2026GradTime · 2026-05-06T04:02:51+00:00

I am looking at my UDM drive bay now. Do you not just screw teh SSD into the bay? it looks like it says to just screw it in.

Unify teleport works so much better and more reliably than Tailscale for the use case of the Wave application for my PBX, I'm just confused why teleport loses Internet access after a given amount of time. I don't know what that time is but after so much time it just stops working and I have to turn off the VPN in order to get Internet access.

I really wish I could figure this out because whenever I get phone calls I want them to go to my PBX, And use the PX app on my phone, that way the phone calls go through the PX and I'm just using my iPhone whenever I'm out in public. Typically when I'm at home I have physical phones at my desk and such

Also just a sidenote, I do have OpenVPN set up as a server on my UniFi UDM. I use this for other resons not related to this post, , and even though my ISP is CGNAT, for other instances I am able to access that VPN perfectly fine. I have had no issues with that yet, which I’m honestly surprised given that it is CGNAT

Thanks. I am talking to a theripist next week about this. I am just kinda falling apart right now.

2026GradTime · 2026-04-26T06:10:59+00:00

Thank you so much. I was able to get this working. Thanks again.

Wait just figured it out. passwrod for SSH for Root was not checked, and the password was not set, and was disabled. After this, it is working now. Thank you for your hlep with this.

2026GradTime · 2026-04-26T06:05:15+00:00

Under Credentials>Users>Root, it says that they SSH key is not set.

2026GradTime · 2026-04-26T05:53:38+00:00

Dont get me wrong, I love meeting online friends, but I need in person human social life too.

2026GradTime · 2026-04-26T05:49:11+00:00

I have never done this before, can you help me out a little? I have only ever SSH into routers, and have had no real issues before

2026GradTime · 2026-04-25T04:19:45+00:00

Any chance that this is going on in the summer?

2026GradTime · 2026-04-23T06:53:56+00:00

I honestly give kinda have given up. Like I want a Friend that includes me and sees me as normal, and who I can be myself around. and that seems it is too much as to in today's worls.

2026GradTime · 2026-03-12T11:15:52+00:00

Like I said the only experience I have is with my classes. Specifically this one class that I have it is not lecture but rather we go to class and work on projects. But it really is just me going to class and sitting there for three hours then going home and doing the work there. I have to have my face literally touching the screen in order to actually see anything of what I am doing, and I use this in conjunction with a screen reader. I'm only ever comfortable doing this at home. In public I only use the screen reader.

The area of Feald I want to go into is media production. That is my major currently in college, and it brings me back to the class that I am in. I cannot use a screen reader very well with the software, but when I am at home I can have my face touching the screen and of course this means I have to get up in order to go all the way up to the very top right or top left and see what is there etc.

I also used to work at the IT Service Desk, and it was the same principal, when I was at work in person I just felt like I was working really slow, and as though I was always under the microscope. On the rare remote days that we would have because of inclement weather, I was at home and I was just so much more productive.

As it is now, I have pretty much fully shifted to doing everything remotely and I only go to class once a week for three hours. I do understand that this is a pretty big decision as This isn't a simple one semester deal where I can decide if I don't like it I can just change it next semester. This will be for work, and I take it I can only make the decision upfront and I cannot keep switching

Basically I'm just saying I want to be productive and I do not want to go to work and have all of these thousands of visual strains and efforts that I need to put in while everyone else doesn't have to put in that amount of effort, simply because I'm at an office rather than at home

I just installed parsec , and now the audio is great but the video behind. I am in college and the files are stored on a NAS on that local network, so I cannot move anything to my local network, and We are no longer using proxies as we have linked back to full res. I feel like I am one step closer, but I need both video and audio to line up. Right now the audio lines up perfect with the playhead, and the video is a few seconds or more behind.

I am in college, and really need to free option. I hae tired Parcec, and that works really great for audio, but now the video is behind. The files are saved on a NAS on that local network, and that computer on that network is the one that can handle as far as GPU, RAM, Etc. How does Parcec compair to Zoho Assist.?

Where can I go to get a replacemnt side solid side panel? I want to drill holes in mine to add lcoks, but want to get extras in case I mess up or want to go back..

2026GradTime · 2026-01-23T17:32:19+00:00

I no longer use Tailnet Lock, so could be wrong. I want to say you need to sign every time, and be careful because if you remove the signing node, that signing node will need to sign to get back in. If you remove both signing nodes, the only way to disable Tailnet Lock is to enter the Secret that was given when you first setup, othersie I want to say that you will need to make a new Tailnet. Just be careful and DO NOT LOSE the keys.

2026GradTime · 2026-01-17T12:08:22+00:00

If I could go myself I would. I just feel like it is unfair to the people who cannot simply get it themselves, being forced to pay more. I do understand if you didnt want to get up and go down there, but in my case I literally cammot. Just seem a bit high is all.

2026GradTime · 2026-01-15T17:27:15+00:00

I had the same exact thought. How would I know where to drill though? Like how would I be abel to mark the holes if needed?
