LincStation N1 6-Bay NAS Storage - Intel Celeron N5105 Quad-Core | 16GB RAM | 128G eMMC | 2x2.5 SATA HDD + 4xM.2 NVMe Slots | 2.5GbE | 2-Year Warranty | 4K HDMI | Network Attached Storage (Diskless)

I just purchased the LincStation N1 and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I feel this is a cheaper and more versatile competitor compared to Asustor Flashstore that I have decided to skip on in favour of the LincSation N1. This device has exceeded all my expectations in terms of performance and software flexibility. Firstly, the setup was a breeze. I appreciated the user-friendly interface and straightforward instructions, which allowed me to get up and running in no time. Whether you're a tech novice or an experienced user, you'll find the setup process to be seamless. Easy to install the storage drives and setup the unit via network cable is simple. *Did not test the WiFi yet, as its only available via hardware passthrough only. In terms of performance, the LincStation N1 truly shines. Its powerful hardware ensures smooth and lag-free operation. (4 core CPU + 16GB RAM helps a lot, as most of the competitor in this price range only offers 4 or 8GB ram) I've experienced no slowdowns or hiccups whatsoever, which is a testament to the device's reliability in my opinion. Moreover, I have tested the 2.5GbE network connection on large media files, and I'm delighted to see that I consistently achieve transfer speeds between 250-280MB/s, which is exactly what I expected from this interface. (See pictures attached) It's reassuring to see the device perform so reliably under heavy network traffic. In the future, I intend to add larger drives and utilize Unraid's VM feature to install a Windows server. Then, this will even allow me to run a business backup software called; Veeam backup solutions. Configuring immutable backup storage in my home lab environment, I can safeguard all my work and projects, providing an added layer of protection against ransomware attacks. I can't wait to test out this configuration once my budget allows for larger NVMe drives. I can update my review on that later on of someone is interested. I'm impressed by the device's ability to handle such demanding tasks. With 16GB of RAM, it's more than capable of running a full-blown Windows VM alongside the Unraid OS, providing a seamless and efficient workflow. If you are on a market for a home storage NAS, this device is also perfect as storing media files, pictures or running applications like Plex is a breeze. This unit can fulfil any users home needs. I tested some docker features as well, works as expected. This one unit can do all for me. It will be my NAS Storage, Host for my virtual server and docker images and Plex as my home media server. I could stream 4K video content to my apple tv without any issues using Plex. Overall, I highly recommend the LincStation N1 to anyone in need of a reliable and versatile media player and storage solution. Its exceptional performance, ease of use, and robust features make it a standout choice in its category. Five stars without a doubt! Get this instead of QNAP or Asustor Flashstore product if you want to save some money.

Pésimo equipo,basto con hacer un cambio de iP para que dejara de tener interface, sin mencionar que tratas de contactar al fabricante y nunca responden un correo para dar asesoría... NADA RECOMENDABLE, NO PIERDAN TIEMPO CON ESTE EQUIPO

It's a very decent NAS product, i bought this for back up my trip photos, it totally does its job. The set up was straightforward, and it also compatible with plex streaming and Unraid. love it!

I recently purchased the LincStation N1 SSD NAS, and I’m very pleased with my experience. This compact and lightweight device has been a great addition to my home setup. The system is incredibly quiet, which was a pleasant surprise, and its sleek design fits seamlessly into my workspace. The hardware workshop is well-designed, easy to install the SSD, setting it up was straightforward. The quality of the building is solid. It comes with an Unraid license, though I’d suggest starting with the trial license to explore the system before committing to the included one. Additionally, I want to highlight the excellent customer service. They were responsive and helpful, answering my questions promptly and ensuring I had a smooth experience. They care about their customers.

This looks like a very good product. Unfortunately, the one I received appeared to have been opened. The box was not sealed and appeared to have been opened. I started the initialization process for the free 30 day trial. It did not start where it should have, but at the next step to change the password. Someone had obviously logged in already with the default password. The process for activating the trial produced an error. I also noticed that on the top of the page it indicated an active time of over seven months. It is going back. I may try to purchase one directly because it looks like a very useful product when new.
