The hard drive on my Cloudkey Gen2 Plus failed less than a year after I bought it. I don’t blame Ubiquiti for a hard drive failure. I blame them for designing the device to be fanless but constantly hot to the touch (44 degrees as I’m writing this, with two 120mm fans right next to it). Countless support posts complaining about poor hard drive lifespan in that kind of environment, but never a response from Ubiquiti or a redesign.


I put a heatsink and fan on the outside of mine. Didn't trust the "passive" cooling
