this is my FAVORITE NAS - Zimacube Pro

so ice whale sent me this thing probably so ice whale sent me this thing probably uh 2 3 months ago or so and instead of uh 2 3 months ago or so and instead of uh 2 3 months ago or so and instead of just doing a normal copy paste review just doing a normal copy paste review just doing a normal copy paste review the same time as everybody else I the same time as everybody else I the same time as everybody else I decided to throw it in my home lab and decided to throw it in my home lab and decided to throw it in my home lab and actually use it every single day as my actually use it every single day as my actually use it every single day as my prox MOX machine so this video isn't prox MOX machine so this video isn't prox MOX machine so this video isn't really going to cover zimma OS I'm going really going to cover zimma OS I'm going really going to cover zimma OS I'm going to do a whole separate video on that to do a whole separate video on that to do a whole separate video on that because when I got this before even had because when I got this before even had because when I got this before even had a chance to do a full boot cycle I a chance to do a full boot cycle I a chance to do a full boot cycle I immediately threw proxmox on it so in immediately threw proxmox on it so in immediately threw proxmox on it so in this video I'm going to go over the this video I'm going to go over the this video I'm going to go over the specs some of the IO talk about what I specs some of the IO talk about what I specs some of the IO talk about what I think about it and talk about how it's think about it and talk about how it's think about it and talk about how it's performing as my prox MOX machine now on performing as my prox MOX machine now on performing as my prox MOX machine now on their website here if I go back you can their website here if I go back you can their website here if I go back you can see there are two different models we see there are two different models we see there are two different models we have the personal cloud which comes with have the personal cloud which comes with have the personal cloud which comes with an Intel n100 CPU and a little less iio an Intel n100 CPU and a little less iio an Intel n100 CPU and a little less iio and then we have the zimic cube Pro and then we have the zimic cube Pro and then we have the zimic cube Pro which is what I have here today at which is what I have here today at which is what I have here today at $1,100 I'm going to talk about if it's $1,100 I'm going to talk about if it's $1,100 I'm going to talk about if it's worth it I will note um it's near Black worth it I will note um it's near Black worth it I will note um it's near Black Friday so they're running a sale through Friday so they're running a sale through Friday so they're running a sale through to my cart with the discount it comes in to my cart with the discount it comes in to my cart with the discount it comes in just under 9 900 which is still quite a just under 9 900 which is still quite a just under 9 900 which is still quite a bit for a Nas but if you compare it to bit for a Nas but if you compare it to bit for a Nas but if you compare it to something like qap or sonology for even something like qap or sonology for even something like qap or sonology for even worse specs you're going to be paying worse specs you're going to be paying worse specs you're going to be paying more the most comparable kind of Nas more the most comparable kind of Nas more the most comparable kind of Nas compared to this are the ug green nases compared to this are the ug green nases compared to this are the ug green nases that just came out so the newer editions that just came out so the newer editions that just came out so the newer editions in this space of network attached in this space of network attached in this space of network attached storage uh the six Bay one which this is storage uh the six Bay one which this is storage uh the six Bay one which this is also six Bay that I have over there has also six Bay that I have over there has also six Bay that I have over there has the exact same CPU and almost the exact the exact same CPU and almost the exact the exact same CPU and almost the exact same price but we're focus on the zimma same price but we're focus on the zimma same price but we're focus on the zimma cube as you can see it is a cube so

cube as you can see it is a cube so cube as you can see it is a cube so that's the form factor we're getting that's the form factor we're getting that's the form factor we're getting here and if you like how it looks and here and if you like how it looks and here and if you like how it looks and all that I mean don't get me wrong this all that I mean don't get me wrong this all that I mean don't get me wrong this thing is pretty you got your six hard thing is pretty you got your six hard thing is pretty you got your six hard drive Bays on the front here there is a drive Bays on the front here there is a drive Bays on the front here there is a seventh Bay which is really nice because seventh Bay which is really nice because seventh Bay which is really nice because it has a spot for four mvme ssds which it has a spot for four mvme ssds which it has a spot for four mvme ssds which that makes it really nice depending on that makes it really nice depending on that makes it really nice depending on what you want to use it for so you could what you want to use it for so you could what you want to use it for so you could use it as like your unraid cash or I'm use it as like your unraid cash or I'm use it as like your unraid cash or I'm using it as a actual ZFS pool that I using it as a actual ZFS pool that I using it as a actual ZFS pool that I have dedicated to like my uh virtual have dedicated to like my uh virtual have dedicated to like my uh virtual machine hard drives container images machine hard drives container images machine hard drives container images things like that or even shares that I things like that or even shares that I things like that or even shares that I want a little bit more easily accessible want a little bit more easily accessible want a little bit more easily accessible such as for like video production such as for like video production such as for like video production projects so that is a welcome addition projects so that is a welcome addition projects so that is a welcome addition in addition to those four there's a in addition to those four there's a in addition to those four there's a single mvme in here which hosts the single mvme in here which hosts the single mvme in here which hosts the operating system ooh look at those fancy operating system ooh look at those fancy operating system ooh look at those fancy animations absolutely beautiful the animations absolutely beautiful the animations absolutely beautiful the processor here is a 10 core Intel 12th processor here is a 10 core Intel 12th processor here is a 10 core Intel 12th gen I5 it comes with two P cores or gen I5 it comes with two P cores or gen I5 it comes with two P cores or performance cores as well as uh eight performance cores as well as uh eight performance cores as well as uh eight efficiency cores so I believe it's a efficiency cores so I believe it's a efficiency cores so I believe it's a total of a 12 thread CPU in here and my total of a 12 thread CPU in here and my total of a 12 thread CPU in here and my initial kind of worry was how it would initial kind of worry was how it would initial kind of worry was how it would handle kind of managing workloads handle kind of managing workloads handle kind of managing workloads between those performance and efficiency between those performance and efficiency between those performance and efficiency cores and it turns out it does it very cores and it turns out it does it very cores and it turns out it does it very well proxmox will rely on the Linux well proxmox will rely on the Linux well proxmox will rely on the Linux scheduler to decide how workloads are scheduler to decide how workloads are scheduler to decide how workloads are distributed across those p and E cores distributed across those p and E cores distributed across those p and E cores so with high priority tasks or if you so with high priority tasks or if you so with high priority tasks or if you have like a certain container or have like a certain container or have like a certain container or something that's really cranking up the something that's really cranking up the something that's really cranking up the resource usage it should use a pee for resource usage it should use a pee for resource usage it should use a pee for that and when that same container isn't that and when that same container isn't that and when that same container isn't really doing too much it's idle whatever really doing too much it's idle whatever really doing too much it's idle whatever it should be running off of an it should be running off of an it should be running off of an efficiency core now I don't really have

efficiency core now I don't really have efficiency core now I don't really have the highest IQ in the world so I would the highest IQ in the world so I would the highest IQ in the world so I would highly highly highly recommend you go highly highly highly recommend you go highly highly highly recommend you go check out this video right here how does check out this video right here how does check out this video right here how does proxmox use p& e cores beautiful proxmox use p& e cores beautiful proxmox use p& e cores beautiful explanation with actual like demos and explanation with actual like demos and explanation with actual like demos and all that uh conclusion is it works great all that uh conclusion is it works great all that uh conclusion is it works great but there's really not a huge kind of um but there's really not a huge kind of um but there's really not a huge kind of um energy or power usage gain that you energy or power usage gain that you energy or power usage gain that you notice and a lot of the times and me notice and a lot of the times and me notice and a lot of the times and me included the type of services that I run included the type of services that I run included the type of services that I run on here are like uh small web gooey on here are like uh small web gooey on here are like uh small web gooey tools downloaders uh things like that so tools downloaders uh things like that so tools downloaders uh things like that so it there's not a lot of high performance it there's not a lot of high performance it there's not a lot of high performance things running generally this machine things running generally this machine things running generally this machine with everything I have going is like with everything I have going is like with everything I have going is like hovering around 20% CPU utilization but hovering around 20% CPU utilization but hovering around 20% CPU utilization but for the architecture and how the actual for the architecture and how the actual for the architecture and how the actual uh Intel CPU is laid out I I haven't uh Intel CPU is laid out I I haven't uh Intel CPU is laid out I I haven't noticed any performance issues or noticed any performance issues or noticed any performance issues or anything like that it's been decent if I anything like that it's been decent if I anything like that it's been decent if I were to build a system myself I probably were to build a system myself I probably were to build a system myself I probably wouldn't go with one of these Intel CPUs wouldn't go with one of these Intel CPUs wouldn't go with one of these Intel CPUs with the efficiency course I'd probably with the efficiency course I'd probably with the efficiency course I'd probably go with like a high core count AMD CPU go with like a high core count AMD CPU go with like a high core count AMD CPU but this is what I got now another kind but this is what I got now another kind but this is what I got now another kind of point in contention with these guys of point in contention with these guys of point in contention with these guys which it's it's really a which it's it's really a which it's it's really a benefit right here we have two options benefit right here we have two options benefit right here we have two options for expandability ah there it is dual for expandability ah there it is dual for expandability ah there it is dual pcie we have pcie we have pcie we have 4.0 * 4 and 1 3.0 * 2 with the point of 4.0 * 4 and 1 3.0 * 2 with the point of 4.0 * 4 and 1 3.0 * 2 with the point of contention being that one of them is a contention being that one of them is a contention being that one of them is a Gen 5 by6 slot but it's only compatible Gen 5 by6 slot but it's only compatible Gen 5 by6 slot but it's only compatible with those four Lanes granted it does with those four Lanes granted it does with those four Lanes granted it does support the full 75 wats of pcie Express support the full 75 wats of pcie Express support the full 75 wats of pcie Express power so you can use it for like low

power so you can use it for like low power so you can use it for like low profile graphics cards and things like profile graphics cards and things like profile graphics cards and things like that as a matter of fact if we go back that as a matter of fact if we go back that as a matter of fact if we go back here to this Creator pack here it is here to this Creator pack here it is here to this Creator pack here it is going to ship with a Nvidia RTX going to ship with a Nvidia RTX going to ship with a Nvidia RTX 2008a which if you do want to do 2008a which if you do want to do 2008a which if you do want to do something that requires a moderately something that requires a moderately something that requires a moderately powerful GPU it is a great option me powerful GPU it is a great option me powerful GPU it is a great option me personally I do not I'm probably going personally I do not I'm probably going personally I do not I'm probably going to end up throwing like some more mvme to end up throwing like some more mvme to end up throwing like some more mvme ssds in here or of course my little ssds in here or of course my little ssds in here or of course my little Coral dual TPU for some uh object Coral dual TPU for some uh object Coral dual TPU for some uh object detection for surveillance cameras the detection for surveillance cameras the detection for surveillance cameras the pro model that I have here ships with 16 pro model that I have here ships with 16 pro model that I have here ships with 16 GB of ddr5 memory I did upgrade it to 32 GB of ddr5 memory I did upgrade it to 32 GB of ddr5 memory I did upgrade it to 32 GB just pulled it out of some other GB just pulled it out of some other GB just pulled it out of some other machine that I wasn't using which for machine that I wasn't using which for machine that I wasn't using which for what I'm using it for I'm probably going what I'm using it for I'm probably going what I'm using it for I'm probably going to want more ZFS uses a lot of ram I'm to want more ZFS uses a lot of ram I'm to want more ZFS uses a lot of ram I'm keep I keep getting ahead of myself we keep I keep getting ahead of myself we keep I keep getting ahead of myself we need to talk about the actual io on this need to talk about the actual io on this need to talk about the actual io on this thing and the kind of networking thing and the kind of networking thing and the kind of networking capabilities we have here on the back capabilities we have here on the back capabilities we have here on the back ignore me while I whip out my second ignore me while I whip out my second ignore me while I whip out my second camera I'm still trying to figure out my camera I'm still trying to figure out my camera I'm still trying to figure out my uh Studio layout uh Studio layout uh Studio layout here you can see here we have three here you can see here we have three here you can see here we have three internet ports one of them is actually internet ports one of them is actually internet ports one of them is actually 10 gig which is cool and you only get 10 gig which is cool and you only get 10 gig which is cool and you only get that with the pro model I think believe that with the pro model I think believe that with the pro model I think believe you get two 2.5 gig with the uh base you get two 2.5 gig with the uh base you get two 2.5 gig with the uh base model but with this one you get to 2.5 model but with this one you get to 2.5 model but with this one you get to 2.5 gig and a 10 gig Nick which is great I gig and a 10 gig Nick which is great I gig and a 10 gig Nick which is great I can't use it I only have a gigabit can't use it I only have a gigabit can't use it I only have a gigabit switch I got some catching up to do for switch I got some catching up to do for switch I got some catching up to do for sure 10 gig would have been lovely when sure 10 gig would have been lovely when sure 10 gig would have been lovely when I moved my like 6 terabyte media library I moved my like 6 terabyte media library I moved my like 6 terabyte media library from one machine to the other took a from one machine to the other took a from one machine to the other took a while additionally on the back here we while additionally on the back here we while additionally on the back here we have two USB type CS those are actually

have two USB type CS those are actually have two USB type CS those are actually Thunderbolt those are Thunderbolt 4 we Thunderbolt those are Thunderbolt 4 we Thunderbolt those are Thunderbolt 4 we do have our power in a point of do have our power in a point of do have our power in a point of contention and they said is this is for contention and they said is this is for contention and they said is this is for to not have it as hot but I do wish the to not have it as hot but I do wish the to not have it as hot but I do wish the power supply was internal instead we get power supply was internal instead we get power supply was internal instead we get the big old brick hanging out tucked the big old brick hanging out tucked the big old brick hanging out tucked under my UPS which isn't the best oh under my UPS which isn't the best oh under my UPS which isn't the best oh look at that we have some USB 3.0 us look at that we have some USB 3.0 us look at that we have some USB 3.0 us Spas here we have display port and HDMI Spas here we have display port and HDMI Spas here we have display port and HDMI so technically and hear me out you could so technically and hear me out you could so technically and hear me out you could use this as a desktop computer if you use this as a desktop computer if you use this as a desktop computer if you threw a GPU in here it would be a pretty threw a GPU in here it would be a pretty threw a GPU in here it would be a pretty good machine I am all over the place I'm good machine I am all over the place I'm good machine I am all over the place I'm doing this video backwards as hell on doing this video backwards as hell on doing this video backwards as hell on the front the beautiful front we have the front the beautiful front we have the front the beautiful front we have two more USB a USBC at uh also at 3.0 two more USB a USBC at uh also at 3.0 two more USB a USBC at uh also at 3.0 our power button we have an auxiliary so our power button we have an auxiliary so our power button we have an auxiliary so you can plug some headphones into your you can plug some headphones into your you can plug some headphones into your Nas and then of course here we have our Nas and then of course here we have our Nas and then of course here we have our hard drive Bays now these you just push hard drive Bays now these you just push hard drive Bays now these you just push the button and then slide them on out the button and then slide them on out the button and then slide them on out like that and then there we go now these like that and then there we go now these like that and then there we go now these you do have to use screws they're not you do have to use screws they're not you do have to use screws they're not one of those really nice like kind of one of those really nice like kind of one of those really nice like kind of just Popin type ordeals you do have to just Popin type ordeals you do have to just Popin type ordeals you do have to screw them in but hopefully you're not screw them in but hopefully you're not screw them in but hopefully you're not having to take your hard drives in and having to take your hard drives in and having to take your hard drives in and out all the time and then over here I out all the time and then over here I out all the time and then over here I got to unscrew this got to unscrew this got to unscrew this guy jeez there we guy jeez there we guy jeez there we are ssds look at that there I got a are ssds look at that there I got a are ssds look at that there I got a bunch of 1 tbte drives and they are bunch of 1 tbte drives and they are bunch of 1 tbte drives and they are together in a ZFS pool I think it's uh together in a ZFS pool I think it's uh together in a ZFS pool I think it's uh it's basically raid five meaning I have

it's basically raid five meaning I have it's basically raid five meaning I have three terabytes of usable space and one three terabytes of usable space and one three terabytes of usable space and one is a parody drive so that's really nice is a parody drive so that's really nice is a parody drive so that's really nice so you don't have to like unscrew the so you don't have to like unscrew the so you don't have to like unscrew the whole thing to mess with your MVM whole thing to mess with your MVM whole thing to mess with your MVM they're just right here available for they're just right here available for they're just right here available for you the screwdriver is like a little you the screwdriver is like a little you the screwdriver is like a little star do I still have it I wonder if this star do I still have it I wonder if this star do I still have it I wonder if this one will work I bought it specifically one will work I bought it specifically one will work I bought it specifically for the PlayStation five is it the right for the PlayStation five is it the right for the PlayStation five is it the right size hey so to take the top off you just size hey so to take the top off you just size hey so to take the top off you just unscrew these top guys here having six unscrew these top guys here having six unscrew these top guys here having six hard drives in this thing and trying to hard drives in this thing and trying to hard drives in this thing and trying to move it around is not light Boop okay move it around is not light Boop okay move it around is not light Boop okay and this right here is what it looks and this right here is what it looks and this right here is what it looks like from up top you see we have the PCI like from up top you see we have the PCI like from up top you see we have the PCI right here uh we have the ram that I've right here uh we have the ram that I've right here uh we have the ram that I've already upgraded if I could get to focus already upgraded if I could get to focus already upgraded if I could get to focus on not the wire and really that is about on not the wire and really that is about on not the wire and really that is about it we have all of our networking right it we have all of our networking right it we have all of our networking right here this right here is that 10 gig Nick here this right here is that 10 gig Nick here this right here is that 10 gig Nick tucked in hidden right here is the boot tucked in hidden right here is the boot tucked in hidden right here is the boot drive and that's the one it came with it drive and that's the one it came with it drive and that's the one it came with it is a Kingston Drive if you're curious is a Kingston Drive if you're curious is a Kingston Drive if you're curious decently sized little heat sinking fan decently sized little heat sinking fan decently sized little heat sinking fan there's it's definitely roomy in here there's it's definitely roomy in here there's it's definitely roomy in here and again this is pretty short but you and again this is pretty short but you and again this is pretty short but you can fit those low profile cards in here can fit those low profile cards in here can fit those low profile cards in here one thing that's kind of interesting one thing that's kind of interesting one thing that's kind of interesting that 10 gig Nick right here is connected that 10 gig Nick right here is connected that 10 gig Nick right here is connected to the motherboard with a u looks like to the motherboard with a u looks like to the motherboard with a u looks like that might be a SATA m.2 so yeah that's that might be a SATA m.2 so yeah that's that might be a SATA m.2 so yeah that's the machine I'm curious what you think the machine I'm curious what you think the machine I'm curious what you think when it comes to the Aesthetics and the when it comes to the Aesthetics and the when it comes to the Aesthetics and the prettiness if I were to not be super prettiness if I were to not be super prettiness if I were to not be super into this and be building home lab stuff into this and be building home lab stuff into this and be building home lab stuff and screwing around all the time and I and screwing around all the time and I and screwing around all the time and I just wanted a single kind of desktop NZ just wanted a single kind of desktop NZ just wanted a single kind of desktop NZ I really really like this form factor

I really really like this form factor I really really like this form factor it's nice and there we go it's all put it's nice and there we go it's all put it's nice and there we go it's all put together so what I think I'm going to do together so what I think I'm going to do together so what I think I'm going to do now is put it back in my home lab fire now is put it back in my home lab fire now is put it back in my home lab fire it back on kind of talk a little bit it back on kind of talk a little bit it back on kind of talk a little bit more about what I'm running on it my more about what I'm running on it my more about what I'm running on it my experience with it and talk about some experience with it and talk about some experience with it and talk about some of the pricing and if I think that of the pricing and if I think that of the pricing and if I think that that's worth it so let's um let's do all that's worth it so let's um let's do all that's worth it so let's um let's do all that so here we are in my prox MOX that so here we are in my prox MOX that so here we are in my prox MOX environment just a quick little run environment just a quick little run environment just a quick little run through of everything and some other through of everything and some other through of everything and some other notes on how things are running I have notes on how things are running I have notes on how things are running I have my Vault here if you watched my proxo my Vault here if you watched my proxo my Vault here if you watched my proxo setup Series this is the device that I setup Series this is the device that I setup Series this is the device that I made the series on and I will continue made the series on and I will continue made the series on and I will continue making the series so subscribe there's making the series so subscribe there's making the series so subscribe there's more coming I have my serar which is more coming I have my serar which is more coming I have my serar which is basically a Docker server about 10 basically a Docker server about 10 basically a Docker server about 10 containers in there running you can see containers in there running you can see containers in there running you can see it is cranked up on the memory usage I'm it is cranked up on the memory usage I'm it is cranked up on the memory usage I'm only giving it two gigs and it's doing only giving it two gigs and it's doing only giving it two gigs and it's doing pretty good I got my Pro here got pie pretty good I got my Pro here got pie pretty good I got my Pro here got pie hole running Plex right here is the one hole running Plex right here is the one hole running Plex right here is the one that does test it every once in a while that does test it every once in a while that does test it every once in a while most of my footage is 1080p so I don't most of my footage is 1080p so I don't most of my footage is 1080p so I don't really have any problems at all when it really have any problems at all when it really have any problems at all when it comes to Hardware transcoding I mean I comes to Hardware transcoding I mean I comes to Hardware transcoding I mean I could do or the most streams I've ever could do or the most streams I've ever could do or the most streams I've ever had at the time was like three uh had at the time was like three uh had at the time was like three uh Hardware transcoding streams all at the Hardware transcoding streams all at the Hardware transcoding streams all at the same time and there was no issue no same time and there was no issue no same time and there was no issue no delay when you go up to something like delay when you go up to something like delay when you go up to something like 4K larger file sizes you might get like 4K larger file sizes you might get like 4K larger file sizes you might get like a second or two where it initially has a second or two where it initially has a second or two where it initially has to look load up and then no laggier to look load up and then no laggier to look load up and then no laggier stutters uh when you try to do 8K that's stutters uh when you try to do 8K that's stutters uh when you try to do 8K that's when you kind of run into a bottleneck when you kind of run into a bottleneck when you kind of run into a bottleneck there but me I don't even have 8K there but me I don't even have 8K there but me I don't even have 8K footage so my one time I actually saw it

footage so my one time I actually saw it footage so my one time I actually saw it kind of lag out was a test that I would kind of lag out was a test that I would kind of lag out was a test that I would never actually experience in my daily never actually experience in my daily never actually experience in my daily use I do have home assistant here which use I do have home assistant here which use I do have home assistant here which has a USB device it's a kind of uh what has a USB device it's a kind of uh what has a USB device it's a kind of uh what is it zigg zigg antenna going through is it zigg zigg antenna going through is it zigg zigg antenna going through there and USB pass through has been no there and USB pass through has been no there and USB pass through has been no problem at all so that's pretty good if problem at all so that's pretty good if problem at all so that's pretty good if I go over here to my whole node under I go over here to my whole node under I go over here to my whole node under summary you can see it is barely doing summary you can see it is barely doing summary you can see it is barely doing anything at the moment with everything anything at the moment with everything anything at the moment with everything stagnant it is pretty late at night here stagnant it is pretty late at night here stagnant it is pretty late at night here nobody's actually using any of these nobody's actually using any of these nobody's actually using any of these services so it's handling at least services so it's handling at least services so it's handling at least running everything at idle very well running everything at idle very well running everything at idle very well you'd see here the CPU that it's rocking you'd see here the CPU that it's rocking you'd see here the CPU that it's rocking overall this is a pretty good system and overall this is a pretty good system and overall this is a pretty good system and for what I'm using it for I could add for what I'm using it for I could add for what I'm using it for I could add more things you see I have a Windows VM more things you see I have a Windows VM more things you see I have a Windows VM here again onto pricing if I go over here again onto pricing if I go over here again onto pricing if I go over here and click buy we kind of saw this here and click buy we kind of saw this here and click buy we kind of saw this page before this is the uh Pro personal page before this is the uh Pro personal page before this is the uh Pro personal cloud again it's on sale right now the cloud again it's on sale right now the cloud again it's on sale right now the sale price honestly I would I would sale price honestly I would I would sale price honestly I would I would really consider it the whole $1,100 I really consider it the whole $1,100 I really consider it the whole $1,100 I would definitely really look strong into would definitely really look strong into would definitely really look strong into a uh just building something myself type a uh just building something myself type a uh just building something myself type solution again to kind of gear the solution again to kind of gear the solution again to kind of gear the hardware to my exact specific use cases hardware to my exact specific use cases hardware to my exact specific use cases but if this has everything you need at but if this has everything you need at but if this has everything you need at the sale price it's a pretty good bet the sale price it's a pretty good bet the sale price it's a pretty good bet again it's really hard for me to to again it's really hard for me to to again it's really hard for me to to spend spend spend $1,100 on a Naas but if you are looking $1,100 on a Naas but if you are looking $1,100 on a Naas but if you are looking into a Nas versus something like into a Nas versus something like into a Nas versus something like serology or any of those big names it's serology or any of those big names it's serology or any of those big names it's a really good a really good a really good deal granted with sonology you get the

deal granted with sonology you get the deal granted with sonology you get the uh dis station dis station manager which uh dis station dis station manager which uh dis station dis station manager which is phenomenal software and a is phenomenal software and a is phenomenal software and a surveillance station which is a really surveillance station which is a really surveillance station which is a really really good one saves a lot of the whole really good one saves a lot of the whole really good one saves a lot of the whole setup of something like frot or blue setup of something like frot or blue setup of something like frot or blue iris but then again you have to do a iris but then again you have to do a iris but then again you have to do a license per camera that's a whole mess license per camera that's a whole mess license per camera that's a whole mess so this is a really good bet if you want so this is a really good bet if you want so this is a really good bet if you want to run different Services you want to to run different Services you want to to run different Services you want to have a couple different virtual machines have a couple different virtual machines have a couple different virtual machines you want it to you or you want to use it you want it to you or you want to use it you want it to you or you want to use it as an actual kind of like home lab as an actual kind of like home lab as an actual kind of like home lab server with a bunch of things running server with a bunch of things running server with a bunch of things running where we go to the base model here the where we go to the base model here the where we go to the base model here the non-pro version this is also a pretty non-pro version this is also a pretty non-pro version this is also a pretty good bet at just under $700 or just good bet at just under $700 or just good bet at just under $700 or just under or just above 500 on sale the n100 under or just above 500 on sale the n100 under or just above 500 on sale the n100 is great if you're running a couple is great if you're running a couple is great if you're running a couple different containers maybe you have home different containers maybe you have home different containers maybe you have home assistant on it and or maybe like Plex assistant on it and or maybe like Plex assistant on it and or maybe like Plex and a couple other little things the and a couple other little things the and a couple other little things the n100 is going to be completely fine so n100 is going to be completely fine so n100 is going to be completely fine so if I want to run a service or two and if I want to run a service or two and if I want to run a service or two and have a pretty good backup system or just have a pretty good backup system or just have a pretty good backup system or just a general like SMB share the nonpr a general like SMB share the nonpr a general like SMB share the nonpr version is also a pretty good bet version is also a pretty good bet version is also a pretty good bet especially considering you still get especially considering you still get especially considering you still get those uh six hard drive bays in that uh those uh six hard drive bays in that uh those uh six hard drive bays in that uh flash pool a lot of the other like um uh flash pool a lot of the other like um uh flash pool a lot of the other like um uh ug green which also makes phenomenal ug green which also makes phenomenal ug green which also makes phenomenal nazes uh the cheaper you you go you nazes uh the cheaper you you go you nazes uh the cheaper you you go you start losing hard drive bays and things start losing hard drive bays and things start losing hard drive bays and things like that this they only have two if you like that this they only have two if you like that this they only have two if you go the model down you're not losing any go the model down you're not losing any go the model down you're not losing any Drive Bays which is nice so with that Drive Bays which is nice so with that Drive Bays which is nice so with that let me know what you think um zimma is let me know what you think um zimma is let me know what you think um zimma is the same company that makes like the uh the same company that makes like the uh the same company that makes like the uh the there they are the uh zimma board

the there they are the uh zimma board the there they are the uh zimma board single board computer server as well as single board computer server as well as single board computer server as well as the zimma blade so they have other the zimma blade so they have other the zimma blade so they have other devices I've covered this one uh a devices I've covered this one uh a devices I've covered this one uh a couple different times on the channel couple different times on the channel couple different times on the channel it's pretty good but now it's uh getting it's pretty good but now it's uh getting it's pretty good but now it's uh getting a little outdated it has the acceler on a little outdated it has the acceler on a little outdated it has the acceler on CPU so I am hoping they update that with CPU so I am hoping they update that with CPU so I am hoping they update that with maybe like a A n200 or something would maybe like a A n200 or something would maybe like a A n200 or something would be super cool but yeah that's my video be super cool but yeah that's my video be super cool but yeah that's my video that's me covering the zimma cube I do that's me covering the zimma cube I do that's me covering the zimma cube I do hope you enjoyed it please let me know hope you enjoyed it please let me know hope you enjoyed it please let me know what you think down below and if you are what you think down below and if you are what you think down below and if you are in the market or have you made a in the market or have you made a in the market or have you made a decision on your Naas purchase I am decision on your Naas purchase I am decision on your Naas purchase I am really curious on what you decide to go really curious on what you decide to go really curious on what you decide to go with whether it's a build it-yourself with whether it's a build it-yourself with whether it's a build it-yourself type thing I'm interested in the specs type thing I'm interested in the specs type thing I'm interested in the specs that you chose or if you did pick a kind that you chose or if you did pick a kind that you chose or if you did pick a kind of already done for you desktop or even of already done for you desktop or even of already done for you desktop or even rack mount NZ like this rack mount NZ like this rack mount NZ like this what'd you go with I'm curious and with what'd you go with I'm curious and with what'd you go with I'm curious and with all that I do hope you have an all that I do hope you have an all that I do hope you have an absolutely beautiful day and goodbye
