An SSD NAS finally worth buying? - LincStation N1
Рет қаралды 5,935
Күн бұрынI'm excited about the LincStation N1 for two reasons. 1) It's the first entirely solid-state NAS I've had my hands on, and 2) It's running unRAID out of the box. But is this combination enough to make the system worth owning? Well, we have an answer for you so stick around and find out!

2.5gb is the weak spot this unit with nvme ,should be at the minimum a 10gb nic similar to the Ugreen offering

@@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios Their NAS-lineup started 8 weeks ago on Kickstarter and includes an all SSD small NAS similar to this one but with an i5 1235u instead of an Intel Celeron N5105 and a lineup of 4-8 Bay units (each plus one cache SSD-Slot) with either Intel N100 or i5 1235u - all of them with 10G and also capable of running Proxmox, Truenas or Unraid besides their own NAS-OS which is arguably not really finished yet. But Lincstation N1 was 269€ including VAT/Tax and shipping and retails now for 370€ - whilst Ugreen was 499-799€ and will retail for up to 700-1500€.

We don't seem to have received such an email (or maybe our staff accidentally overlooked it)😱. But I can answer you that our logo is purely original. This N1 was also designed by a German designer, and LincPlus is very conscious of copyright issues. So, are you interested in trying our products?👏

Yes, you can turn off the "breathing" LED lights. Use a web browser to type in your N1's local IP address, followed by :50000 (port number). Unfortunately, it is in Chinese. Do a screenshot before you make any changes so you can set it back if you mess it up.

Great review! But what's with the crazy 4k Crystal Diskmark results!?
@frankwong9486 Ай бұрын
How about a cwwk p5 with nvme carrier module ? Which have n100/n305 option and with nvme carrier you can have quad nvme plus two sata The problem of this nas is the slow network, and included unraid basic plan only have 6 device limit if remember correctly, mount more device or go UD you need more device limit ,right ? So we cant use those usb port for more /portable storage when all 6ssd bay was populated
@JohnPob 10 күн бұрын
Odd choice for the OS as i thought unraid still doesn’t like SSDs in the array or has that’s changed now?
@banningproducties Ай бұрын
is see in the main menu that there is a 4gb flash storage? is this on the device it self or is it an usb flash drive. alse with there new licensing you have to buy updates every year.
@m.l.9385 26 күн бұрын
It is as an legacy basic license with lifetime upgrades and the option to upgrade the license in their legacy lineup up to the old pro license with support for unlimited bays(!)- no need to buy anything there. And yes the 4 GB are from the flash drive which is a build in 128GB emmc actually - but only 4 GB used which leaves a lot space for wear leveling!

Thanks for the video, I think is a compelling NAS, however, the fact the it is NVME make the 2.5gbe sounds not right. I was surprised that you didn't mentioned the 2.5gbe as a downside. For some people 10gbe on mvme storage is a must. I am looking for something similar to the one in the video but 10gbe. Thanks 😊 for the video.
@Andy-fd5fg 22 күн бұрын
Humm i wonder how the shared out all the 8 lanes of PCIe. The CPU has 2 SATA ports built in, along with the WiFi, graphics output and USB 3.2. So if they gave each NVME 1 lane, that would have left 4 lanes free.... more than enough to chuck a 10Gbit NIC in there! They could even squeeze in 2 more NMVE slots with a lane each. Put that 10Gbit NIC in and then they really do have something worth buying.

Love the video, do think this is pretty pricey especially once you populate the drive pools too but....I am a self-confessed Unraid fanboy with 3 currently running in my house....I dont get what you mean about the storage creation being bad...you can configure seperate pools(or as standalone drives), you can have extra(or no!) parity drives...I think you could have explained a bit about the parity system...apologies this is one of the first of your videos Ive watched and I did enjoy it, but perhaps I dont know the level of your members/subscribers when not really explaining that part. Again though I really did enjoy the video...I do wonder why manufacturers are so drawn to creating things with flashing/pulsing lights that do nothing, and cant be turned off!!

if you wanted to could yo wipe out unraid and install something else such as proxmox or truenas instead?

Yes. N1 supports other systems like Truenas.

So much lost opportunity on this NAS. 2.5GB networking is a joke on a NAS with multiple NVME. This thing should have either dual 10GB nic or Oculink pcie 5.0 to allow a 40GB nic.

The main selling points are the size and noise. This is not very much bigger than a 3,5" HDD in an external enclosure and after the latest BIOS-Update almost totally silent- yet it is a full NAS with up to 48 TB capacity! And pricing was/is also quite attractive. I paid 269€ including VAT/taxes an shipping! Which includes an Unraid basic legacy license with lifetime updates! Retail is now 370€ including VAT and shipping still not too bad.
