Currently priced at $799 on the Ubiquiti website, the UNAS Pro 8 is a 2U rackmount NAS designed for higher-capacity file storage and shared workloads, featuring eight 2.5/3.5-inch drive bays alongside two M.2 NVMe SSD slots for cache acceleration. This configuration targets environments that need increased throughput and lower latency while maintaining a compact rack footprint.
The system supports high-availability 10GbE networking and hot-swappable, redundant power supplies, making it suitable for deployments where uptime and serviceability are essential. Internally, the UNAS 8 is powered by a quad-core ARM Cortex-A57 processor running at 2.0GHz and is equipped with 16GB of memory, providing the resources needed to handle concurrent file access and sustained workloads over fast network links.
This platform positions the UNAS 8 as a step up from smaller UniFi NAS offerings, focusing on density, redundancy, and 10GbE connectivity for lab, enterprise edge, and shared storage use cases.

UNAS Pro 8 Build and Design
The Ubiquiti NAS makes a strong first impression with a solid, purpose-built SGCC steel chassis that feels more in line with traditional rackmount storage appliances than consumer-focused NAS systems. Weighing 25.35 lbs and housed in a 2U form factor, it measures 17.4 × 18.9 × 3.4 inches, making it the largest UniFi gear we’ve handled to date. The design clearly prioritizes airflow and drive density over front-panel embellishments.
