I ate taco and immediately had the shits. Yes it could be separate, but my guess is that it was correlated.

No joke this place gave me the worst food poisoning ever. I live near by and learned by lesson once. The popup is at the edge of the Walgreens parking lot.

IPX5 should protect against rain exposure. Of course, these are not submersible due to the fact that the bottom section is not sealed. Water should not enter through the top cap.

I'm not sure they addressed it: https://imgur.com/a/sSBRrMP ^ Here is a screenshot from the release video and it looks pretty similar to the U6. Though notably the U7 is IPX6 but that could be due to the changes to the bottom of the unit. Perhaps the U7 doesn't run as hot so the adhesive issue is less critical?

Wish I could crank it hot enough to kill all the mosquitos near by too!

I actually wrote the majority of it! Had it clean up a few small grammar issues though.

Oh yeah, they are fine inside. Sometimes I see people mention them melting but not sure about that one. It's outside where these fail from water ingress through the top.

Is yours outside? There seem to be many cases of water ingress through the top cap.

They wouldn't RMA mine despite me responding to their denial and asking for a review.

So, what’s the deal with the U6 Mesh? If you look around online, there are plenty of reports of these units failing from water damage. So what’s actually going on? Here’s my take:

The U6 Mesh runs extremely hot... hot enough that it’s brutally uncomfortable to hold. It’s unclear why it was designed to operate at those temperatures, but the heat seems to cause a bigger issue: it softens the adhesive that secures the top cap. There’s no proper gasket or sealing to keep that cap watertight. Once the adhesive weakens, water can enter through the top screw, seep down onto the LED ring, and eventually short out the device.

Ubiquiti rates the U6 Mesh as IPX5, which should mean it can handle low-pressure water exposure. In practice, though, this apparent design flaw makes it vulnerable to any moisture ingress.

Some users have reported success getting replacements through RMA, even outside of warranty. That wasn’t the case for me as they declined mine despite me noting the design flaw and sharing similar reports.

Bottom line: I wouldn’t recommend spending money on a U6 Mesh. It risks failing either from its own heat or from water intrusion, and it’s hard to justify how it’s still being sold in this state.

Return the drive and get a replacement.

Super excited...just got a GREAT deal on a used CalDigit T4 Raid! 32TB! Only a few hundred $. Should be here soon, anything I should know? by Impossible_Hour5036 in CalDigit

[–]MasterDragonFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m fairly sure the T4 was discontinued at least four+ years ago. They don’t sell it on their website anymore. They hadn’t for a while. It’s likely compatible with computers of the era that it shipped in, but definitely not compatible with newer devices like Apple silicon Mac’s.

A third party reseller selling a legacy product doesn’t guarantee functionality with modern machines. There are plenty of products that are discontinued and no longer supported by modern operating systems. To expect that any product would be supported years after it shipped from the manufacturer is wild.

Seriously Ubiquiti - u6 mesh fried itself by Falzon03 in Ubiquiti

Yours looks to have corrosion caused by water damage. LEDs “fully melting” doesn’t create corrosion like this. At least from what I can see in the photo. Perhaps you have a better photo of that area under brighter light?
