UnifyDrive UT2

I think the concept is a good one. I could do backups of camera and drone footage quickly. Documentation is very poor. The initial setup is way too complicated and needs Ethernet internet connection!! I received my unit when I was in the field so really struggled get a work around to configure it. Connecting to Mac as a usb drive is a mess - think mainly for windows users. As of August/September 2026 there is no support - I have emailed them 3 times and nothing. Buyer beware!

Great concept, but the Ethernet transfer speed is far too slow

I bought the UnifyDrive UT2 mainly to transfer large amounts of data over Ethernet from PCs where USB storage devices cannot be used. The idea of having a portable storage device that can be accessed directly over LAN is excellent. Unfortunately, the actual transfer performance has been very disappointing. With the UT2 connected directly to my PC via Ethernet, and the connection confirmed to be linked at 1 Gbps, SMB file transfer speeds were only around: Read: approximately 40 MB/s Write: approximately 20 MB/s I do not expect the full theoretical maximum of 125 MB/s from a 1 GbE connection, but around 20 MB/s write speed is far below what I would consider acceptable for this type of product, especially when transferring large files. I also checked the connection under different conditions, but the performance remained much lower than I expected. The concept of the UT2 is very appealing, and being able to use it as a portable LAN-connected storage device is genuinely useful. However, if you are buying it expecting reasonably fast wired file transfers, I would be very cautious. For my intended use, the Ethernet performance is simply too poor. Until the transfer-speed issue is improved, I cannot recommend this product.

The drive is great for downloading!

The drive is great for downloading, but I can't get it to upload to my computer. Tried using cloud services, won't let me sign into One Drive and using Google Drive it can't access the files on its hard drive
