• If using the pre-installed Windows 11, it is highly rrecommended to wipe the entire drive+partitions & install Windows afresh on receipt
- Due to malware concerns, do this with all computers sourced from the Far East, including those via Amazon, eBay, etc & also secondhand PCs from anywhere
- Some additional useful related 'how to' tips by @Arc (thank you) can be found here hotukdeals.com/com…296
- These are ok for entertainment/tweaking/home theatre purposes, but refrain from using these types of lesser-known brand PCs from the FE for anything critical or professional - e.g. for your job or run a business on. And probably even avoid any financial/crypto transactions on it altogether to be on the safest side
- If you're concerned to the point of paranoia please refrain from buying - the only relatively "safe" brands are Apple, Intel, Dell, Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, Lenovo, HP, Acer, ASrock & similar longstanding & reputable brands in the UK.

Would this be capable of running UNRAID so I can run Plex and Sonarr etc in dockers?

How much power would this consume at idle with basic none moving parts? Anything that runs 24/7 needs to be efficient.

Thank you for this. I have ordered the 5700U version and worked out at £186. What a great deivce!

Really like the idea of this - basically a 2.5gbit router with integrated nas, and the 5700 models have plenty of cpu grunt too.

Am I being overconcerned about bios or other integrated hardware malware though? Obviously can just buy barebones so not worried about preloaded stuff on the drive, but if I'm using it as a router ......

The perfect Proxmox based Router/Firewall/Plex/NAS/Home automation server.

However single channel DDR4 might bottleneck the transcoding performance of the N100 (edited)

I have one of these and it is great for Plex - but - the 2.5GbE ports don't perform at 2.5GbE speeds. I think there is an issue with the i226-v ports and I haven't been able to find a solution apart from using a USB Network adaptor

I'm quite happy with my Synology DS124 drive but I really like the look of this and I like the idea that you can plug it directly in to your TV.

I'm confused, it's in my basket for less with no discount codes. Have you selected a different option?

Not to be that guy but does anyone know if there's a 4+ drive version of this or similar available? I was looking at building something like this but would prefer something prebuilt honestly

Could this run Plex and be powerful enough for transcoding etc too I wonder?
