Ubiquiti expands beyond rack-mounted systems with desktop network-attached storage devices. The company launches the UniFi UNAS 2 and UniFi UNAS 4 for small offices and home laboratories. Both units feature vertical designs with front-panel status displays measuring 1.47 inches. The devices share identical specifications with quad-core ARM processors running at 1.7GHz and 4GB memory configurations. Connectivity remains consistent across models through single 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet ports, USB-C connections, Power over Ethernet capabilities, and Bluetooth wireless setup.
Storage configurations differentiate the two models significantly. The UNAS 2 accommodates two standard SATA drives at a $199 price point. The UNAS 4 supports four drives plus dual M.2 NVMe expansion slots for $379. These slots function as cache acceleration or additional storage volumes. Ubiquiti positions these desktop units against their rack-mounted UNAS Pro series, which targets enterprise deployments with fiber connections and higher throughput requirements.
