Datasheet

Designed for Storage Capacity and Expansion
ENAS features sixteen (16) 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch drive bays with dual NVMe slots that support large-scale, high-capacity deployments. ENAS also provides two (2) external M.2 slots that support third-party M.2 NVMe SSDs from brands such as Seagate, Toshiba and WD*. Additionally, ENAS includes two (2) Mini-SAS HD ports specifically designed for storage expansion, allowing you to scale your deployment as your data needs grow.

Backups and File Protection
ENAS supports regular snapshots and backups to other UniFi storage devices via SMB/CIFS, and integration with major cloud services including Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Amazon S3, Backblaze B2, and Wasabi.

Mobile and Desktop File Access
You can access files on your Enterprise NAS through UniFi Site Manager or through direct connection via SMB using UniFi Drive on your desktop. For remote access, the Identity Endpoint app is available on both desktop and mobile, offering licence-free connectivity from anywhere.

Enhanced Performance
The ENAS SSD cache (known as L2ARC) enhances the performance of random read access workloads. Common use cases include accessing files across multiple computers in office environments, managing virtualisation workloads, modifying media with frequent file reads, and handling high IOPS demands in database applications. The more concurrent and frequent the access, the better the SSD cache performs. To ensure steady performance and prevent unnecessary wear, sequential access is skipped by default to help preserve SSD lifespan.

Data Compression and Deduplication
As part of its ZFS implementation, ENAS supports Inline Compression and Deduplication, which helps reduce the physical storage footprint and extends the life of your drives by eliminating redundant data. Deduplication is highly resource-intensive and can impact system performance. It is recommended to enable it only when storage efficiency is a priority, or when using SSD-based storage where the performance impact is more manageable.
