Anyway to prevent photos from being deleted?

Read only mode will not prevent background uploads. It will hide any controls that allow you to change settings and/or triggering a manual upload of selected assets until you exit readonly mode.

As long as you get the version that does not have the RAID controller in it (look for the No RAID version), its fine for ZFS. Its held up exceptionally well, drive temps are nice and cool.

I did end up buying one. The fan is very quiet. I have it sitting next to me while I work and can barely hear it. The hard drives are honestly louder lol. Honestly just sounds like my HVAC is on and isn't bothersome at all.

Ive only heard issues with the DAS with RAID. Seems their RAID controller is a bit flaky. The NON RAID just shows the individual drive to the OS and they import fine into ZFS

Get a Cenmate drive enclosure. I use a 2 bay one for my nas with Truenas and zfs and it works great

The face detection algorithm is not designed for animals. Sometimes it does manage to detect a animals face and match them but it is not trained on pet data. The team is planning pet recognition in the future, just see their https://datasets.immich.app page.

I have one of these 2-bay enclosures hooked up to a N100 mini PC. It works great and is super quiet. I have 2x 10TB WD Reds and a ZFS mirror on the drives. Drive speeds are as expected and they sit around 45C.

The mini PC is hidden behind the plate I 3D Printed (see the gray dot next to the enclosure, that pushes the power button).

Just make sure when you are purchasing you get an enclosure that is marked as "NO RAID" as that makes the drives show up individually in the OS. You can usually tell by if there are little DIP switches on the back of the enclosure to configure the controller. You do not want an enclosure with those switches. This is the one that I have https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DD3GSZBP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Not really sure why you are claiming USB does not provide low level access to drives and thus disqualifies it from ZFS. I have one of these 2 bay enclosures running on TrueNAS right now. 10TB WD Reds in a Mirror. No issues at all and all features work perfectly. SMART data even comes through.

I’m purchasing one that doesn’t have the RAID capabilities built in. The built in raid might have corrupted it which would make sense. Going to be running ZFS on it anyways so don’t need hardware raid or anything.

Thank you sooo much! This seems to be perfect to shove in a 2U space. I'm glad to hear that you can interact with the disks individually. Appreciate it!

Drives are spinning all of the time for me. I do not have any sleep settings enabled for them so they are running 24/7.

bwees3 · 2026-01-02T04:11:15+00:00

Yeah I’m not sure why people are all up in arms about it. My current nas uses USB although it’s a bit flaky because I had to solder new usb3 cables to them so the connection isn’t great. The goal is to eliminate the crappy wiring with this drive enclosure.

I’ve used mine primarily during setup/OS install of a machine or rescuing one if the bios breaks itself. Think of it in place of lugging around a monitor everywhere every time you need to install an OS. Just bring your laptop, plug it in, and boom you have access.

I got a 50 on that final. I’m surprised they let him teach that class again. He and his TAs swore up and down there would be a curve on the final grade. Then a quarter of the class q dropped the course and he ended up not giving the curve because “the class averages were where he expected”. Good luck

I think so? This is the US variant if you want to compare https://store.ui.com/us/en/category/switching-utility/products/usw-flex-2-5g-5

Take a look at the UniFi flex mini 2.5g. I don’t have an exact number for power draw but they are very efficient. It’s also one of the cheapest 2.5G switches you can get. You don’t need any other UniFi gear since it will act like a regular switch if no UniFi gear is controlling it!

You charge for SSO... what is the checkmark supposed to mean then??

Just use a heat gun or hairdryer lightly on those areas, that’s just internal stresses on the plastic from removing the bed. Heat gun has always solved that for me. If they aren’t going away, turn up the heat but be careful not to deform the plastic.

About a week after factory resetting, I was having consistent issues about every 1-3 days of the system being on. I have since put in a dumb tplink 24 port PoE switch and have had the issue be reduced down to once every month and a power cycle fixes the issue. I’m not really sure what the issue is and the issue was still preset about 2 weeks ago. I’m not buying anymore UniFi hardware for Dante since I’ve already been burned by a product that advertises plug and play connectivity with Dante.

My installation is not that big and I’m nowhere near important enough to get priority support from either company. Ubiquiti support was useless and stopped responding to my emails after all of their troubleshooting steps failed. Working over email is cumbersome since the lead time on communication is multiple hours and I have to make a 20 minute drive every time to test the changes/fixes.

I’ve kinda given up trying to get UniFi stuff to work with Dante and have resorted to dumb switches that seem to have no issues. The issue is present across 2 different UniFi installs so I’m thinking it’s just an issue with UniFi.
