I'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

@sativagirl1885 Месяц назад

what do socialists dream of becoming when they grow up?

@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios Месяц назад

Ugreen? What do they have?

@m.l.9385 Месяц назад

@@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€.

@HiltonT69 Месяц назад

Single 2.5 GbE and n5105 make this a great NAS if released a couple of years back, but not in 2024.

These guys reached out to me to review something recently and their products look slick. When I asked them if they deliberately ripped off LinkinPark's logo, they quit responding to me lol

@2GuysTek Месяц назад

I dunno how I didn’t see the similarity!

@DBTechYT Месяц назад

@@2GuysTek When I looked at their email signature, I was like, "that looks familiar... where have I seen that?" and then it hit me and I looked it up. :)

@bluesquadron593 Месяц назад

That's funny. Or is it? 😂

@Lincplus-Tech Месяц назад

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?👏

@johnnybtoso Месяц назад

I do like unraid and have been using it for over 10 years. I don't mind the storage creation

@10Sambo01 Месяц назад

Great review! But what's with the crazy 4k Crystal Diskmark results!?

@JasonsLabVideos Месяц назад

NICE!!!!!! LOVE IT !!! I want one !!

@simplelifeman Месяц назад

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.

@frankwong9486 Месяц назад

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

@EduardoSantanaSeverino Месяц назад

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.

@JohnPob 21 день назад

Odd choice for the OS as i thought unraid still doesn’t like SSDs in the array or has that’s changed now?

@banningproducties Месяц назад

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 Месяц назад

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!

@GarethEdwards1979 Месяц назад

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!!

@craigfields427 Месяц назад

What brand is the m.2 NVME storage case?

@2GuysTek Месяц назад

homelabgear.shop/

@Andy-fd5fg Месяц назад

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.

@BeardedLearza Месяц назад

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

@Lincplus-Tech Месяц назад

Yes. N1 supports other systems like Truenas.

@sativagirl1885 Месяц назад

on ally x press, 16TB usb thumb drives are cheaper than a big mac or a one way bus ticket to Hell, MI.

@JokerTheVlad Месяц назад

My home connection is 10gbps, this box is garbage for users like me.

@giovannifrancesco3344 Месяц назад

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.

@ewilliams28 Месяц назад

I know it really makes me a butthole but as soon as I heard unraid I was done.

@xellaz Месяц назад

2.5G? Those SSDs are wasted. 😂🤣😅

@m.l.9385 Месяц назад

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.

@bluesquadron593 Месяц назад

The poor networking kills this product.

@MacGyver0 Месяц назад

But not for 2guystek. He even not mentioned that. 250mb speed for 4 ssd raid is totally not acceptable.

@bluesquadron593 Месяц назад

@@MacGyver0 Buying the i5 Minisforum MS-01 with the same price makes much more sense.

@EduardoSantanaSeverino Месяц назад

The problem with the MS-01 is the number of nvme slots. I really liked the fact that this presented NAS takes 4 nvme. But the networking is not acceptable 😒

@bluesquadron593 Месяц назад

@@EduardoSantanaSeverino you can add a PCIe card holding 2 nvme. That would make it a 5 bay system.

@EduardoSantanaSeverino Месяц назад

True. The MS-01 is able to host 2 nvme on the PCIE port because it supports port bifurcation...

@bufanda Месяц назад

Yikes unraid. This thing is already dead to me and I am only 30 seconds into the Video. I know people like it but I don't. If it is possible to buy it without OS and save some money would be nice.

@2GuysTek Месяц назад

Save money, no. But I suspect you can install another OS of your choice.
