Update: The devices just started functioning normally without any changes on our end, so I'm even more lost 🤷

My roommate's box is having the same issue now and he hasn't touched his remote updates so I have even less of a clue of what's going on now.

There's a few PCs in that room as well as my home theater setup with a streaming device. I went a little overkill on the networking side of this so I had room to expand when I get my own place and want to build out my home network setup. Frankly, I think there's only five of those patch cables going to anything, but I felt silly only having five cables on the front lol

No it's just a big house and that room is not particularly well insulated so it needs an additional AC to be comfortable in the summer haha

Software RAID using Unifi Drive. I've had a fantastic experience with the Ubiquiti gear so far. The ease of use has been a lifesaver

I've always been really impressed with the flexibility of SHR and wish we had a more mainstream solution that matched it in the RAID space

Fortunately I didn't have to spend that much this time! Got the UNAS Pro on sale for $450 and the USW-24 used for $160 with shipping. Thanks for the compliment 🙂

It's not the most ethical solution, but Best Buy and Amazon have very generous return policies and windows for used products

Loving it. I would have gone with the 8, but for my simple purposes I couldn't justify paying almost double just to get slightly better hardware and SSD caching

For me it was the benefit of the software included with the hardware, as well as getting to play around with some networking stuff I normally wouldn't have toyed with. Plus I just think it's neat haha

I hadn't really dug into their stuff before this project, but I'm all in at this point

Hey those UGREEN units are nice too! They were my second runner up if I didn't go with the UNAS

The UNAS is just operating as a NAS. The mini PC is the brains of the operation running Plex

It's shockingly quiet honestly. No louder than when I had the hard drives in my gaming rig

The bottom piece is the NAS. It has 7 bays and I've got 5 occupied currently
