A homelab operator upgrading to a UniFi UNAS Pro 8, an Intel E610-XT2 10GbE card, and a Minisforum MS-01 miniPC found file transfers crawling at 100-200 Mbps despite all hardware reporting a full 10 gigabit link. After ruling out the NAS, its RAID array, SSD caching, Immich, SMB signing, and Windows Defender, an iperf3 test isolated the problem to networking between the desktop and the MS-01, revealing nearly a million discarded received packets on the Intel adapter. The root cause turned out to be the E610 driver defaulting to 512 receive buffers instead of its supported maximum of 4096.

Ubiquiti released patches for three maximum-severity vulnerabilities affecting UniFi Protect, UniFi Talk, and UniFi OS Server products. The flaws include an input validation bug in Protect, a CRLF injection issue in UniFi OS that allows authentication bypass, and a command injection vulnerability in the Talk VoIP application, all exploitable remotely without authentication or user interaction.

A longtime Synology NAS owner attempted to transfer files to a new Ubiquiti UniFi UNAS Pro 8 over a 10-gigabit network, expecting the SMB file copy to be routine. Windows Explorer failed partway through with file system limitation errors, prompting a switch to Robocopy, which stalled at 92% with error 665 on certain files, including one called '05 Wires.m4p'. The user traced part of the slowdown to Robocopy's restartable /Z mode, a feature they had relied on since 2007 but which now dramatically hurt transfer speed.
