Comment on Beelink ME mini is a NAS with an Intel N200 processor and support for up to 6 SSDs

I was just thinking “bah ssd, that’ll be expensive” but a quick search on Amazon suggests prices have dropped quite a bit.
12Gb soldered on memory though. That’s a shame.

That’s quite the RAM for a NAS, no? I think mine has 512MB.

Using a machine like this just as a NAS is a bit of waste. It’s a full blown PC that would work very nicely as a home server for Jellyfin etc. The RAM will limit the utility, though.

Depends on your usecase. This could very well be more than just a NAS.
Valmond@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Well yes but is is a NAS not a homelab right?
Ulrich@feddit.org 2 days ago
Again, not necessarily.

ZFS needs a lot of ram
Valmond@lemmy.world 2 days ago
For those zettabyte SSDs 😁 ?
I don’t know what it is except the acronym, why whould someone use ZFS?

ZFS is powerful for reliability and data protection. It is designed to hold lots of data and to tolerate hardware failures. One key aspect of ZFS is that it caches data in ram for reads so having lots of ram speeds up read performance.

I was recently told that 16GB wasn’t much for ZFS…

Maybe it isn’t bad if you have good SSDs

You are probably right, mine is from 2013 😰

Yeah, my NAS uses 3GB out of my 16GB total. I don’t think I’ve ever seen it use more than 5GB.
