Very interesting alternative to the other NAS providers as you say. Not to mention the cost savings too! 😁

It should be made clear that the clear case is a pre-production unit according to the website. There's a little astris that says that production models will be black and not clear. Those interested in the clear case should know this unless I've read something incorrectly.

Edit: I misread, the notification was referring to the PCB color. The white PCB board is a prototype and the shipping model will have a black PCB. I apologize for the misunderstanding.

This looks interesting, I would really love to know more.

[juanroldan]

Very nice! I would definitely like to know more. Thanks.

I purchased one that will come in January of next year but I've never configured a server before, not sure how to "log into" it from another computer, etc, etc. Perhaps you could put together a series of these video's that talk about it, demonstrate it, etc, etc for us loyal followers? Appreciate it very much!!!

I’d like to see a full setup video for NextCloud on the ZimaBlade.

[Paulzpc]

Informative video, I like that you can build onto it, and make it your own, the way you want, very good sir, some of the most interesting videos on YouTube, thank you!

[colinhepburn]

Hi Brian
yes would be interested in more on this
as I am just a single user meaning it is just me unless the dog goes online when I am out
This looks interesting to me
I'm not a gamer but do photos/video streaming and music/storage as well as all the general stuff.
and perhaps explain more about what some of the apps are as just seeing the name of an app tells me nothing really.

maybe do a separate video on what some of the apps are for relating to the photos/video streaming and music/storage and playback of high-end audio WAV/FLAC, not the mp3, low-quality files
thanks
Colin

Thanks Bri. Nice presentation.
Not to sure about the swearing in the comments, lack of vocabulary comes to mind? The younger generation maybe watching this.

I was thinking. I could place this board into a larger NAS enclosure with 6 drive bays. The NAS comes with power for the drives. The only thing that would be an issue is powering on the Zima blade at the same time as the drives.

[Cyba_IT]

Yet another great vid thanks Brian. Seeing how to set up CasaOS on a NUC or older PC would be interesting. Cheers

[ACOnetwork]

In the beggining of the next year I plan to buy something like this for NAS and Media server 😁

[nathanmcneill]

the windows old folder is just where your old install is and old files and downloads etc if im correct

[simonwatson]

This looks promising. I've always wanted to build a NAS, but much larger than two drives. Is it possible to bung somekind of RAID card into the PCIE slot, to expand the two drive limit, to something closer to 10 or 20 drives??

[KelticLad]

cool looks like a nice bit of kit, thanks for sharing

[MrBmarx]

Hello Brian. Coule you please provide the reference of the PCI-E card you plugged to extend your storage with M2 disks?

[epsilon]

Any chance you could do a video on how to set it up to be a website server?

[kychemclass]

No Linux client?. Oh well. Another e-mail to a tech dept and another long wait. Pity as it looks really good!

[dwp]

This could be just the thing. I am looking to update from my old NAS that seems to only play well with Plex every other time I use it.

[basdfgwe]

Is 2 drives the maximum or can we add some sort of expansion to increase the disk storage ?
