UnifyDrive UT2: The portable photo backup solution you’ve been waiting for?

The UnifyDrive UT2 is a portable NAS with dual SSDs, RAID 1 support, touch-button SD and CFExpress card backups, and many more features. An all-in-one, portable backup solution for photos and videos without a laptop. In this video, I share how the device works, pros and cons, and my experience using the crowdfunded product.
