Comment on Thoughts and feelings on AOOSTAR WTR PRO AMD Ryzen 7 5825u hardware?

Looking through some of the notes there, some things to consider:

Win11 is pre installed (probably baked into the price)
Drive bays are note hot swappable
It’s Ryzen 7, so definitely not a low power device

The biggest question mark there is kernel driver compatibility if you’re running a Linux distro. I’d check around. There are also other vendors with similar form factors and price that DO have hot swappable drives. Maybe something to consider.

Thanks for the heads up…

I would go with no RAM and no SSD, install something I buy myself

Noticed that and it was brought up in a video, is it critical for a home server to have hot swappable drives?

I’m sure the Mac Mini is probably using over 15W right now, but I don’t know for certain. Any good ways to test outside of buying some hardware?

Most of the videos I’ve seen online are using Proxmox which is my goal. Just trying to decide if $400 before tax without any memory or storage is a good deal or if I should just build a box.

  Critical…technically no. Shutting down your NAS, putting in a replacement, and waiting for the disk array to come back online is trade-off.
