Lincstation N1: The perfect NAS for UNRAID?

"So I lost my chair..." - We've all been there :)

my theory as to why it has removable sata spots, is possibly for like easy data backup and removal of drives for possibly off site storage? at least i could see that as one use case.

I really like this box

How cool is this!

Nice! so Proxmox compatible <3

Looks to be a decent little machine for the price. Would be better if you could get one sans OS for $60 less, lol. I don't hate the design choices made here. What is the power draw like? I recently deployed a little x86-P5 development board with the 4xNVME hat as a low power low heat home NAS/server and it, so far, has been a VERY good solution. Although the overall construction is a little janky, lol.

I have one of these too, although i like Truenas more then Unraid 100%

My main draw to unraid is the ability of using mismatched sized drives when I first set up my system. I could build something and get it working and then upgrade my drives as the funding would allow.

With a more powerful cpu and 10gib ethernet then i would be interested

you can totally install truenas on a 4gb drive, I have my asustor flashtor with 8gb emmc set up that way. But it is not officially supported (and for a good reason of not having much space for older boot environments) and you need to go to shell and edit a setup script to bypass the check. So it can run, you just risk to be left with a corrupted rootfs if something goes wrong during an update

my thoughts are going with bonded 2.5 would be pretty good but overall just get a refurb and build something better for less money, it may work for some people but you also have options

Yep, the thumbnail showing the front was more interesting then the thumbnail showing the back...

thank you for the video! please fix the -22db audio :')

Why are they using Linkin Park's logo ?

An additional thought, unraid recently changed their licensing tiers related to updates, in the past you would pay for how many drives you want to have connected to your system, and lifetime updates. Currently they have 2 lower tiers that only get updates for a year, and the upper tier that gets you lifetime updates. They are grandfathering in old lower tier plans to continue lifetime updates, but the new ones will be limited. I'm wondering what plan comes with this and if you're stuck with only a year of updates.

Wonder why, in particular for NAS, if going 2.5gb, why not include two? Is that more expensive then a 10gb? Get the speed will still notbbe 10gb but with link aggregating, etc., maybe it bridges some of the gaps people point out when they say no 10gig no interest

That old cylinder mac would prob work better. What did they call that?

Screw UnRaid and TrueNas, and that it why I subscribe!!, thanks for the video

The license it comes with was a 6 device iirc When you full build and need attach usb storage voa UD you running out of device quota 😂

second thumbs up.
