Hi, is this the same as you see in Alixxxxx? Is it worth the price over dyi?
Despite the listed specs for the N100 R1, I'd swear I saw a second M.2 slot and its mounting post in the video at 22:04.
You said that there are 2 RAM slots, but the N100 only supports one channel, so I think that there is something wrong with the board if they put 1 extra slot for nothing
Thanks. Please do more on this unit ,thanks.
Hope you had a Merry Christmas and thanks for all the work during the year. Here we are moving into Boxing Day.
Great internal parts, but the case form factor is totally unpractical. How would you stack 3 of them for a Proxmox cluster?
There's also a AMD 5700U model
Nice unit to start out with, without a huge investment.
Yes, 90 watts might be a wee bit too much for the external powerbrick here but I rather have it oversized than undersized.
90 watts means you still have some decent headroom left and that powerbrick won't get ran into the higher temperatures. (which is often the cause of the failures)
But in this particular case/application a 65 watt brick probably would have been sufficient.
That is in fact(!) one of the complaints I do have with the QNAP's that do use external powerbricks, they do fail quite often.
And these are 90 watts.
(the seller on eBay sold a lot of replacements, go figure)
Please install unraid on it and do a Review
I would definitely be interested in how it performs as a Plex server.
It's the CPU fan pwm and manageable from the os? Many Chinese PCs don't let the os manage fan speed.
Regarding usb-c, my unit has it marked as data, display and power so it could be it does accept power delivery in. I haven't tried it though
Noise might have been a bit less if you had installed the rubber feet or pads on the bottom so that vibrations would not have been transferred to the desk surface and allowed to resonate more. The difference might have been slight but perhaps it would have changed the character of the sound for the better.
I went for the 5700u which is now 300 usd plus $5 shipping to the UK, directly from aoostar
I think that's the best value one
What a nice computer!
If I had seen your good video a week earlier, I would have bought this device as a Proxmox host.
Now I have an Asrock mini ITX also with an Intel N100. I soon discovered that the passive cooling of the CPU on that board falls short. While your Aoostar has a beautifully thought-out cooling system.
All in all, the Aoostar is very well thought out and I think you get a lot of value for money.
The N100 performs about three times as well as a J4125 and is three times more fuel-efficient.
Thank you for your good review!
Topton seems to sell the same computer btw.
Regarding the layout of the mobo stuck between the drives, it's really similar to the WD Ex2 Ultra
Proxmox runs well on mine, but was a hell to install : v7.4 needing custom x11 settings files to start installation. Then update to v8. Idle consumption around 10W without any HDD
I also got it barebones, added 32GB crucial ddr4 and Sk Hynix P31 1TB nvme.
Even hardware transcoding works with Jellyfin, nice little home lab with excellent energy efficiency overall.
Do you think it would be possible to make a nas with cheap £20 1tb micro sd cards
Hardware haven, and alternative aliexpress listings say usb c supports PD… so much conflicting info going around on these devices
Thanks. Longing for next year evolution – N200 and USB C power supply I hope …
Thanks for dropping a Christmas Day video – hope you're having a fun day! I would love to see some Jellyfin performance testing on this, if that would be something you might consider?
Thank you! Ordered one week ago – First Server / NAS which will look good beside my PS5 / TV. I‘ll use this for Proxmox (opnsense, pihole, plex, home assistant and docker…) – only downside of this device is nvme x1 speed – but this is probably the n100 has only 9 pcie lanes…
Superb product, superb review.
I really want to see fully populated "total at the wall performance power consumption" and idle power consumption.
Also, how does this stack up as a transcoding streaming device against a N5105?
It is still fine for the minutes of intro, not going to skip it 😂
Finding information really saves time.
