I believe Ubiquiti plan adding RAID 6 as an option in firmware update. They often listen to feedback, even from the smallest of users, so I would expect a lot of features to be added. I think this initial offering may just be feeling out the market so to speak. The hardware is the exact same as the UNVR Pro, except doubling the RAM, which makes sense as they had the hardware. The Raid Levels currently are Raid 5 or Raid 10 if I recall correctly. I would be surprised if UI don't add more RAID and NFS, but as I always say, never buy a device based on what may come. I don't think iSCSI will come until enterprise level device is available. iSCSI tends to be more SAN than NAS . The price is right here. Closest Synology would be the 923, which is lower spec overall. If you want a good NAS that performs well, the UNAS Pro does that. If you want a home server, then this is not the device you seek.
I agree that Ubiquiti is testing the waters. Regarding iSCSI, I have had maybe four videos exploring its application in the home lab. iSCSI really is an elegant solution even over 2.5Gbps. I would also like to see integration into an elegant web based portal using Unifi accounts with 2fa. I don't think I saw any mention of the CIFS shares being able to operate within a domain.
I agree, definitely needs to mature a little more to be considered a competitor in my opinion. Looking forward to see what they do next,
