	tl;dr: Ubiquiti's new ENAS is a ZFS-based enterprise NAS powered by an 8-core ARM Neoverse N2 CPU, 64GB ECC RAM, optional NVMe L2ARC caching, 16 drive bays (expandable past 1PB), and dual 25GbE SFP28 ports, with no drive-model firmware lock-in. It integrates with UniFi for license-free centralized management, identity-based access, multi-site backup orchestration (including M365), and supports native iSCSI shared block storage for Proxmox, VMware, and Hyper-V clusters.
	HN Discussion: ↑Enthusiasm for ZFS adoption and Ubiquiti entering the NAS market ↑Appreciation for Ubiquiti's no-recurring-cost business model ↓Skepticism about Ubiquiti's software quality and security track record ↓Doubt that the hardware truly qualifies as 'enterprise' grade or can deliver promised performance ↓Pricing is too high compared to DIY alternatives like TrueNAS on used hardware
