The Unify UT2 is a new product currently listed on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter. As a solution, users can support the UT2 via crowdfunding. The UT2 is not a traditional over-the-counter retail purchase, so some discretion is advised when considering purchasing this device. If it sounds like something you could use, your support is highly encouraged!
Please note, there is no guarantee that a product will be provided to all users who back a project. While there have been numerous success stories of network-attached storage (NAS) solutions from brands such as YouGreen, ZimaCube, and LincPlus with their own crowdfunded projects in 2024, there are also numerous examples of failed crowdfunded NAS solutions, such as the infamous Storaxa.
This review is completely honest and neutral, and the brand has had no say/control over it's content! However, it is important to remember that it was conducted using a UT2 unit supplied by the brand before the start of the crowdfunding campaign and I am using an affiliated link that will result in a commission fee for any pledges made on Kickstarter from it.
Be aware of the risks of crowdfunding any product you buy, not just this one - BUT ALL crowdfunding projects. Example of a horror story = youtube.com/watch?v=V3hbCfdBSlA !

Zettlab has officially entered the network-attached storage (NAS) market, unveiling four new models—the D4, D6, D6 Ultra, and D8 Ultra—at IFA 2024 in Berlin. This marks Zettlab's first foray into NAS, positioning these systems as AI-driven solutions for users who want advanced data management and media organization capabilities while maintaining control over their privacy. Unlike many NAS solutions that rely on cloud-based services, Zettlab's systems offer AI functionalities that work entirely offline, catering to users who prioritize data security alongside advanced functionality. At IFA 2024, Zettlab introduced these NAS models with a focus on integrating local artificial intelligence (AI) tools that don't require internet connections or third-party services such as ChatGPT or Google Gemini. The Zettlab AI NAS systems provide users with tools for smart data handling, enhanced search capabilities, and contextual media organization. As a result, the systems target professionals and businesses dealing with large datasets or media collections who need advanced tools to interact with and organize their data, without sacrificing privacy.

In this video, I evaluate the Minisforum MS-01 as a NAS drive, highlighting its impressive hardware including 10G ports, a 13th gen Intel CPU, and multiple M.2 NVMe slots. I critique the limited NVMe slots for full 10G utilization but praise the new prototype upgrade card from Minisforum, which expands the slots from three to six. I detail the installation, the prototype nature of the upgrade card, cooling challenges, and performance tests. Although the internal performance is promising, external performance faced issues, particularly with a 40GbE card. The video ends with plans for further testing and a follow-up review.

The technology behind hard drives has evolved RAPIDLY! In just the last few years we have seen HDDs hit over 20 terabytes, seen the number of platters being squeezed into a single hard drive casing reach more than 10 and the performance and durability of these drives somehow continue to improve too! Still, one area that we have seen very little change in over the years is the price per terabyte of most HDDs. Despite the range of capacities available from most HDD brands (Seagate, WD, Toshiba, etc), the cost of the latest and largest HDDs still maintains a hefty price tag, whilst the smaller capacity drives (still broadly keeping their lower price point) are more readily available, occasionally on offer and this leads alot of data storage buyers to ask themselves - Is it better to buy a small number of MASSIVE hard drives or a larger number of SMALLER HDDs? Thanks to modern development and efficient evolution of RAID (redundant array of independent disk) management in NAS and DAS systems*, alongside storage enclosures now ranging from as little as 2 Bay desktop case scale all the way upto 24-60 Bay rackmounts, it is actually quite easy to achieve the same amount of capacity of a handful of 'max capacity' drives with a smaller cluster of more affordable smaller drives. So, today I want to look into the benefits/downfalls of either setup and hopefully help you decide whether you need to opt for bigger or smaller hard drives in your data storage setup in 2023 onwards.

This video reviews the IOCREST M.2 to 10GbE adapter, a new alternative to PCIe cards for adding 10 Gigabit Ethernet to a system. The adapter utilizes the M.2 slot typically used for storage.
Performance benchmarks on a Windows PC showed mixed results, with some tests achieving full 10GbE speeds and others falling short.
Compatibility testing with various NAS (Network Attached Storage) systems revealed limited success. The adapter only worked consistently with Unraid and TrueNAS (Core & Scale). Other NAS platforms, like Asustor, QNAP, Synology, and TurnKey Linux, had issues with driver incompatibility or complete lack of functionality.
Overall, the video suggests that M.2 to 10GbE adapters are a convenient option for small form factor systems due to their size. However, their performance can be questionable, and NAS compatibility is limited. PCIe cards remain the recommended solution for users prioritizing performance and broader NAS compatibility, although they may require more space.

This is an approximate breakdown, and the actual times may vary depending on the video's pacing.
