Linkin Park rocks!! I wanted to actually play a cover from them, but I wanted to make sure I comply with copyright rules! Hence the Linkin Park "look alike" song! :D
Met It simply is not low cost. 400 for the device. 240 for each 4tb nvme ssd drive, etc. you are talking about $1400 for a loaded system that is no where near 40TB but hey, why do details matter?
Used same 5 2TB WD drives for my NAS - DIY matx build R5 7600 with all 5 drives raid-z1 full speed pcie 4.0x4 . Yep, idle power much higher - 25-30w according to external power meter. And size is much bigger. But my OS (PVE) is on the dedicated nvme (16gb Intel Optane) and I don't have that RAM and expansion cards limitation.
Transfer speeds are limited by the Intel N5105 CPU and it's limited PCIe lanes. I have a QNAP TS-464 NAS that has the N5105 CPU, I have NVMEs as caching disks, I also have a 10Gbe add-in card, the best transfer rates I get is 250Mb/s to the NAS, and 470MB/s from the NAS. A 5Gbe NIC would be the most ideal NIC for the platform.
great 1st video dude. love that you added lil rock bits. I would go a like slower for the next review. Most ppl don't have a hue it background. Also show how to install the drives. I was confused as to how they all fit in a tiny lil box. i look forward to more great vides, rock on!
Thanks so much for the love mate! Yeah, it was just so much to talk about, maybe next time I will condense a bit more the video and go a little bit slower! :D But really appreciate the support! :D
For the price it's not bad I guess but having only 2.5GbE and gen3 x1 lanes for the drives makes this seriously underpowered for a lot of people. Seems like it would have made more sense to go with SATA SSD's instead of NVME, per drive would have been slower but you could get full speed on more drives and use the PCIE lanes for 10GbE. That said I get there are people who just want low power and quiet and for that use case this is probably good enough.
Dude, nice rif segments. Much respect. You covered all the details I was interested in, and it makes decent sense from a slim local server. But… the VM/Docker performance is probably going to be worse than a xeon/gpu system. Big question, can (and if so how many) transcoding streams of 4K video at h265 codec can it do? I do use my system with tailscale, plex/docker & RDC into a windows 10 pro VM in unraid- and while nVMe has to be killer, I think I’d die on the CPU/GPU side of things. Also, just a thought, max out the nVMe disks (6TB), then use the two (6TB) SSD 2.5 drives for parity (or get a 2.5 drive to nVMe adapter)… would guess that maxes you out on performance of the system. Anyway… I subscribed… you’re good in my book.
First of all thank you very much for your kind words of encouragement and support! It means the world to me so thanks for that! Regarding your question, I have done H264 transcoding without worries. It's a LOT better than the RPI 5 ARM CPU because of the igpu. Like you say the IGPU is not the strongest but it's better than just plain old CPU. As for H265 I haven't tried that compression specifically yet, but if I do I will let you know! I think you are right with the VM being a bit limited, but I haven't noticed any issues, but then again I haven't virtualized windows yet! To be a bit cheeky, I'd say try ordering one from amazon and test it out. If you find it too slow, just send it back. I am only running light weight docker containers like homepage, home assistant, ad guard (for DNS Server) and jelly fin and so far it's working great and not SUPER hot either. Hope this helps mate! Thanks for the sub! :) .
12:20 - you don't need to copy the ip address , just click the JF logo on the left and select "Webui". Nice little device, but shame it has a mix of sata and m.2 slots and not enough m.2 really. Bare chassis competes with the Asus flashstor 6. It needs a better, more future proof processor too. Not bothered by the looks as it would just be in a rack/cupoard.
Mandarin and Cantonese are SPOKEN dialects; the written language - as this is from mainland China, will be Simplified Chinese. Traditional Chinese is used by Taiwan, and many Chinese ethnic people outside of China. I am a complete NAS noob, looking for something small and easy to control - this looks pretty good - and has enough bays to build a decent sized home media server without breaking the bank; my current Film folder is 2TB, plus 250ish GB of music, so 4x 2TB, or 2x4TB NVMEs + an SSD is more than enough. I currently only have GBE adapters, but I laid 10GBE cable when wiring the house, however this is so small and light, I can plug it directly into my main PC for initial data transfers, then plug it into the central router afterwards?
Thanks for clarifying (and correcting) my ignorance in relation to the Chinese dialects! Always happy to learn!! Regarding your idea to connect it all up, sounds like you have a plan!! :)) Thanks for the support mate! :)
Its false advertisement when the UNRAID license is not a perpetual one. The provided license is for one year only. After that customer is forced to pay 49 USD annually. They should have gone with an available open source OS or make their own.
hi , i have another question about unraid. how to verify that disk one copy files to disk 2 in the pool ? what application for secure unraid ? and what application for ftp ? thx
Does it makes sense to raid mirror SSDs? I can see how it makes sense for regular HDDs, but doesn't SSDs have roughly the same amount of writes before they both die?
well drives can malfunction for whatever reason! If we could predict when a drive absolutely die, life would be a lot simpler, but unfortunately we can't! Once I had a drive die on me just from moving it from one pc to the other. God knows why... There are a lot of unpredictable factors that can cause drive failures not just read/write lifespan! IMHO
SSDs are much more reliable than HDDs now, by a factor of about 10, but it's always advisable to have some form of recovery or redundancy in case of failure.
looks pretty good. 4 nvme bays. I can't understand why nas makers can use a more powerful cpu? Find some old I3/I5. these subpar cpu are just wrong for what yo pay for a nas. It's everyone not just this firm. the specs on these nas look good.
Naa mate, it's like a dummy load. It's not doing anything. It's just because you can't create a pool (ZFS) without a disk in the array as per version 6.12.13. If you install version 7 beta you don't need to do this, but then again like I said in the video, it's a beta so do it at your own risk! :)
Nvmes are way to expensive over regular drives and there’s a lot of used drives regularly on sale from data centers unlike nvmes. Unless you don’t need the blazing speed of nvmes who cares
I would say so, but the best thing to do is to write directly to the lincplus guys, the link is in the description! They are usually pretty quick to reply, their customer service seems to be really good! I know you can have SSD or HDD 2.5'.
I love Linkin Park too definitely getting this. Quiet, low power and has nvme slots. Perfect.

Have one of these too ! I need to update it and soon buy some 1tb ssd's instead of the 512 m.2's.
hehe yeah... I am thinking about getting a third nvme also, and not worry about storage for a long time!! :D

450-500 USD?!?!?!? No

Why are you lying ? The licences are perpetual. Nobody is forced to pay afterwards.
@@AlphaConde-qy7viprobably is referring to the no more updates after the first year unless you pay.
UNRAID is not free
GPT told me to use btrfs for the Unraid file system if all SSDs are used. What do you think?

I think it's for energy efficiency! Intel CPU's do like their power! :) It's powerful enough to run windows though...
Hello, the disk you use (disk 1 with 256go) samsung 850 EVO, it’s now the cache disk ?
Naa mate, it's like a dummy load. It's not doing anything. It's just because you can't create a pool (ZFS) without a disk in the array as per version 6.12.13. If you install version 7 beta you don't need to do this, but then again like I said in the video, it's a beta so do it at your own risk! :)
@@DigitalMirrorComputing ok thank you, so if i don’t install the version 7, i need to do like you. thank very much for you answer, i appreciate.

Nvmes are way to expensive over regular drives and there’s a lot of used drives regularly on sale from data centers unlike nvmes. Unless you don’t need the blazing speed of nvmes who cares
They lost me with the network card 2.5g
a 10Gbe would be a great addition for sure... maybe they release an adapter or N2 might have it! Wishful thinking I know! :)
can we use Hybrid SSHD with this nas ?
