It’s an Aoostar R1. A mini PC with an Intel N100 and two HDD drive bays. It’s going to be my new NAS.

I wish you luck with your new Bluetooth speaker.
TBH, the sound quality isn’t that great.
Just remember that “Linux is not Windows” and to “go in” like It’s your very first time using a PC and you’ll be fine.
What’s a Windows?
awesome! i got the same one. still waiting to buy drives, as 2x 16tb drives is a tad expensive. soon ill swap my old $40 to my fancy new one. im using plain ol debian with docker. barebones but simple and secure. youll have to update us on using OMV
What kind of goofy lil doodad is that?
It’s a mini PC when HDD drive bays. I bought the bare bones version and fitted the RAM and drives. I’ll install openmediavault on it but I probably won’t get around to it today.
I’m interested to hear what you think of the n100.
I’ll report back when I’ve run it for a while.
So this is like, for running your own little private Netflix?
Yes, I’ll put Jellyfin on it.
It feeds her her HRT
I was looking at this the other day on a slick deals post. Let us know how it is!
Good luck!!
Nice, what’s the price for the PC?
I’m looking for an enclosure or something to chuck my old hard drives into but either they cost super lots for say 4 drives, or you buy a 40€ junk PC and pile up the drives in the case I feel. No middle ground at all, even old used 2014 NAS for 1 or 2 drives are overpriced IMO where I live.
fractal node 804 fit my bill. I only have 4 3.5" drives plus 2 nvme, but can squeeze 4 more 3.5" drives if needed.
That is some dope stuff!
I remember another fractal box, small but with lots of hard drive space (4?) it was a bit smaller than yours but hey, can’t have too many drives :-)
€ 200 for the barebones version. Plus about 80 for the RAM and SSD.
I’ve been thinking of replacing my Synology with one of these!
This is the kind of product I want to see. Inexpensive NAS hardware and chassis which lets the user install their own OS. I wouldn’t be complaining this much if we could do that with Synology’s entry-level DS line but we can’t and it’s annoying because they and QNAP are some of the few who price the entry-level well (in my opinion, that is). It’s really hard to build an entry-level NAS under $200 unless you’re going used and have a chassis handy.
Good luck and let us know how it goes. I should bookmark these guys
