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

  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.

    Well yes but is is a NAS not a homelab right?

      Again, not necessarily.

  ZFS needs a lot of ram

    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 😰

  With a SOC like that, that no way will only serve as a NAS, i can see my self easily hosting a dozen container on it and a couple VMs. That said, 12Gb is quite sufficient for my need.

    Sure, but then you’re looking not for a NAS but more for a minilab right? Personally I just split it in 2, one ol’ trustworthy NAS and then some thinkcentre tiny to mess with.

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