Any modern desktop pc with multiple cores make perfect "homelab" servers.
Needs one 3.5 inch internal slot
Does it support sleep states with nvme and u.2. installed? Or even just nvme. And is no bifurcation confirmed or is it just the particular card you tested? Thanks.
The price point is to high at this point.
There is a Radeon RX 6400 that is low profile single slot if you want to use a slightly better gpu in it.
Check for hidden malware… been a few cases of it hidden in these mini pc's
Only one of the ethernet ports can be managed by vPRO, the one closest to the SFP+ port.
your shots are very shaky it makes me sick
U can build a much cheaper one.
👎👎👎
5:46 indeed, "it is insane" how "so much much you can do with this" is limited with SFF form-factor for otherwise capable specs hardware.
It does make a potentially interesting low-power 4x SPF+ with 2x Aux interfaces router, but then again at that price point its a premium for SFF constraints while any Supermicro mobo with two x8 slots will do the same (for fraction of cost used).
Impressive, but too pricey for my empty pockets. I'll have to wait a few years for one to turn up on eBay 🙁
Not bad little machine. Although a little pricey. Also, I am curious about the 4 port 2.5 gig NIC add on card, what is the model number for it? Thinking might use it for pfsense.
the dual port m.2 is not dual NVMe its 1 NVMe and 1 SATA
Thanks for the great video. I have a question. Is ist possible to connect my pc with usb 4 to the computer and connect to a network share?
the answer is yes, yes it is
Can I pass the integrated GPU Xe to a Linux Container like Jellyfin and to a Fedora Workstation VM in Proxmox?
Is it just me, or does it seem like most of the problems with this unit is that they ran out of space? I mean, just design it a little bit bigger, next generation. Yeah, people gonna be OK with that. We'd MUCH rather have the functionality and room to work with. It would still be small enough. Why does it need to be so little, to begin with? It's not like it needs to be portable! It doesn't run on batteries. You'd still need to plug it in.
Also, I'd want more gen 4 or 5 NVMe slots, so I can use larger capacity drives. Gen 3 is pretty llmited in size. I don't care about the speed so much as the capacity in a system like this, since we don't have the space for adding more drives.
Is there a way to create a SAN for ESXi with this machine? I mean with sfp+ it would be very nice to connect it to a little storage(most NAS Systems support iSCSI) for a bigger Datapool and you can use a faster raid option than the internal RAID 1 of the ms 01 which is managed by the cpu so u lose performamce.
It would be great if you could show us a compatible PCIE multi-NVME card that has its own RAID controller. This would be very useful to avoid data loss.
Neat little box, it seems like there are a couple tiny compromises that make it not the perfect machine but "good enough" for some uses. It seems like if they could cut the price down (or when these are on the used market in a couple years), it would be a great "do it all" machine.
It is future-proofed, no question about it. But seems like a little bit as an overkill. Especially with i9
10mm would have made a lot of difference here but still pretty good kit – the zen5 variants should be even more fire – maybe 128gb ram capacities
