Summary and conclusion
As already mentioned, the workmanship is really good, the almost 3kg empty weight also provides a high-quality overall impression. Fast access to the hard drives allows for hotswap in theory, but I don’t think that’s necessarily a relevant feature for the target group.
Subjectively, the Jonsbo N2 is a bit less insulating compared to the N1 in terms of hard drive noise. Logically, however, this is also to be expected when you replace a closed metal front with a permeable grille. So both have advantages and disadvantages.
What surprises me a bit is the unnecessarily complex mixing of different screws. Why was it necessary to use hexagonal screws for the lid and then include an extra matching tool? The N1 simply used a sliding mechanism, which would certainly have been feasible here. Realistically, however, you won’t be screwing much on it after the initial assembly, so it shouldn’t be a big problem.
With a current price of about 140€, the N2 is no bargain, but the competition for DIY NAS enclosures is not very big either. However, in my opinion, the price is justified by what is offered. Visually, the Jonsbo N2 is also much easier to hide in the living room than, for example, a Fractal Design Node 304. Overall, however, it is so different that it should not be considered a successor to the N1.
