I bought a "cheap chinesium" one a couple of months back and have not regretted it (yet). It does what it claimed it would.
The one I bought: Aoostar R1
How much did you end up paying? Did you have to pay tax, customs fees etc? $200 sounds almost too good to be true. Do you run Linux on it? Any driver issues? I'm looking for a replacement for my NAS right now. On paper this one looks pretty good.
I opted for the version with RAM and nvme for $270. had to pay shipping, but no import tax (lucky me). So all in all it was about $300 for me.
And yes I run Linux on it. Arch Linux to be precise. Have not encountered any driver issues.
Cool. Thanks for the info.
Uuhh, that's a cute little trash can. Now fit that with the maximum of RAM it supports and two 12TB harddrives... And it'll do more media center and NAS than the average person needs.
Exactly. It handles Jellyfin + other services very well.
Add some googly eyes if it "lives" in the living room. They fit right above the switch which would then become the nose.
Yeah back when I needed storage (quite some years ago) the mini pcs were less capable and more pricey, so I ended up building a NAS myself. It's a regular, yet very power efficient PC. But due to size, it doesn't fit next to the TV. If I'd do the same thing today, I'd certainly consider a machine like this. And $200 doesn't sound much for a 2-bay NAS.
Holy shit! This is the first one of these things I've seen with SATA slots
