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 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. :)
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.
for those not liking the 2.5gbit ethernet connection, this unit has a usb-c connector. those can do 10 gbit, I imagine you can hook up a 10gbit usb c network adapter to it. The only fun part would be to see if you can land a driver. for fun I'll likely try this approach, though my plan was to use this mostly for docker and archive storage
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.
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
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!!
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.
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.
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!
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.
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 😒
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.
2.5gb is the weak spot this unit with nvme ,should be at the minimum a 10gb nic similar to the Ugreen offering
what do socialists dream of becoming when they grow up?
Ugreen?
What do they have?

The problem with 10gb is that it doesn't support WakeOnLAN which would be an issue for me.
@@mb-electricalservices fair enough. However, some of us are fine with it retaining a "wake" state at all times.
I do like unraid and have been using it for over 10 years. I don't mind the storage creation
Single 2.5 GbE and n5105 make this a great NAS if released a couple of years back, but not in 2024.

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

Would've liked a power consumption check at idle and full load..
NICE!!!!!! LOVE IT !!! I want one !!
Odd choice for the OS as i thought unraid still doesn’t like SSDs in the array or has that’s changed now?

What brand is the m.2 NVME storage case?
homelabgear.shop/
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.
on ally x press, 16TB usb thumb drives are cheaper than a big mac or a one way bus ticket to Hell, MI.

Had to put on those black rubber gloves to power it up. hahahaha
I know it really makes me a butthole but as soon as I heard unraid I was done.
My home connection is 10gbps, this box is garbage for users like me.

The poor networking kills this product.
But not for 2guystek. He even not mentioned that. 250mb speed for 4 ssd raid is totally not acceptable.

@@EduardoSantanaSeverino you can add a PCIe card holding 2 nvme. That would make it a 5 bay system.
True. The MS-01 is able to host 2 nvme on the PCIE port because it supports port bifurcation...
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.
Save money, no. But I suspect you can install another OS of your choice.
yeah... unraid is so expensive... unraid tax
