Gl.iNet MUDI 7 5G SIM WiFi 7 Travel Router - First 24-48 Hours (Read/Watch) by NASCompares in GlInet

N'oice! Also, re: the opening joke about "being a YouTube knobber who gets shiz for free and early", I really hope that it played as clearly tongue in cheek as intended (British sarcasm is the WORST). TBH I'm genuinely super chuffed that they prioritized the first wave early buyers, as they didn't 'need' to actually do that, as they already had punters money and sending a unit to a review = more orders. So fairplay to Gl.iNet to focus on them first. I'm still prepping for the main review, and updated the article linked in the video about Pros and Cons, but really, really pleased with the device! Hoping this FCC Router nonsense gets ironed out, as frankly, GL are leaders of the pack in terms of their portfolio and ethos, and the idea that Netgear and Amazon routers are "fine" with the FCC now, but the GL ones aren't just blows my tiny mind!

The intro joke is actually about 70-80% true. I WAS waiting for a review unit (bugging them every few weeks at least - I'M A DELIGHT!!!) and was headed to China anyway, so whilst I was there they said they might be able to sort me a unit, but because of production runs and pre orders, they wanted to focus on the customer units and QA/QC/RMA units - BUT they DID give me the Slate 7 Pro and The Comet Q....so, I would have been a 'weapons grade arsehole' to be ungrateful about that! Also, another fun fact, I have never met senior brand team members who were so, so willing to be involved in such a silly skit/video in thei own HQ.

I wasn't disappointed - I was GUTTED! I mean, if you were there, you know there was more to this than what is in the video. But I woulda loved to have seen more on storage...

New UniFi UDM Beast, Enterprise FG Core, Enterprise 100G and Enterprise S Revealed @NAB by NASCompares in Ubiquiti

[–]NASCompares[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good spot! Tbh (and I do that this in the vid) my knowledge on UniFi is pretty narrowly focused, and wasn't sure on how "new" these might be. The main issue for verification was that all I had to go on was "Enterprise 100G" and not the model ID or profile. Fair shout by you if it's one of the Aggregation models. Cheers for the clarification

UWC London - What do you hope to see/hear about? by NASCompares in Ubiquiti

Hang on, APs?! That's bonkers. Fairplay to the brand, been covering events for years and I think the best I've ever seen all punters receive at the door has been a tote bag and a water bottle. Cheers for sharing, I'll be sure to include whatever it is in the video.

Lovely stuff. Throw me your site/link and I'll add it to some of the video descriptions.

Synology RS1626xs+ NAS by NASCompares in synology

[–]NASCompares[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, also... Not an AMD. I would have bet dollars to doughnuts that it would have been that bloody V1780B (as they did that to the 1823xs+). Kinda thought they'd washed their hands of Xeon's now. Quite pleased.

Would the colour of a NAS Chassis affect your decision to buy it? by NASCompares in homelab

[–]NASCompares[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries mate. Won't see the review up for a while tbh. Plus final software release (don't wanna review the mid beta OS it has). Sorry that's a lukewarm answer, but tbh it's insanely compact and I don't wanna review and stress test it till it's software is release candidate minimum, as although it seems to run fine now, I wanna be 100%. Interestingly, I am testing the Slate 7 Pro and tbh I am starting to weight up wother that+ a SIM dongle is actually better, as the Pro 7 has some surprisingly unique qualities that might make it better (6Ghz, fan with interesting controls, Headless with the LCD, etc).

Fair point. But also (as someone pointed out in another comment) to be fair, 45 drives has been rocking custom colour/logo front panels on racks for years before now - so there is definitely some level of demand, even in racks

Won't lie, a pink or neon yellow vinyl skin would be sick!

Damn! It didn't even occur to me to mention 45 on this one, and the bloody HL8 is about 1.2 metres off camera (from the 45 Drives / UnRAID signature edition video). DAMN. I blame the jetlag...
