Summary and conclusion
My excursion into the world of Unraid was just as exciting as the LincStation itself. Visually, I liked both the UI of Unraid and the simple, elegant design of the system.
By the way: If you are bothered by the LED bar or would like to customize it to your own wishes, you can do so under the host name and port 50000.
The translation is rather poor, but you can still find your way around.
Apart from that, a few loose thoughts that I haven’t gotten rid of yet:
- The mainboard can be found under the model name TVI8310X
- 128GB eMMC memory is installed on the board, which cannot be used under Unraid
- WLAN and Bluetooth chips are also not supported by Unraid
- The computer beeps once when it is switched on
- After setting up Unraid, 22.5 GB of storage space is occupied on the array
- Upload of an .ISO file directly in the web file browser was extremely slow at 159 kbit/s
- The internal 4GB USB stick looks identical to those in TerraMaster NAS devices
I would like to emphasize again that I could never quite reach the 2.5 Gbit in the download, even in several test runs. In the upload, however, I could, but I was unable to find a tangible reason for this. And even though I think the decision to simply deliver Unraid pre-installed with a license is a very good one, I have to wonder about the hardware. Because neither the 128GB memory, WLAN nor Bluetooth can be used by Unraid. If you could buy the LincStation N1 a little cheaper without the Unraid license, this question would not even arise.
With the code “LDS2” there is a 5% discount in the manufacturer’s own store. This is a referral link, but I do not accept any commissions offered by the manufacturer. Neither I nor IgorsLab earn any money by using the voucher code provided.
But this is not the case at the time of publication, there is no selection option. So you end up with a final price of 377 euros including the Unraid Basic license worth 53 euros. Especially in comparison with the Intel N100, however, it is clear that the N5105 installed here is somewhat underpowered. With an average of 2-2.5 times the CPU performance, the N100 is well ahead. We have already seen Mini-PCs with the N100 or N97 for less than 200 euros, but to be fair, I am not aware of any other system that can accommodate four M.2 and two 2.5″ drives and would be cheaper. The closest comparable offer would probably be the Asustor FS6706T All-Flash NAS. With an identical processor and similar features, it currently costs 530 euros, but also comes with 6x M.2 slots. So if you are looking around in this niche and need SSD network storage, the LincStation N1 could be of interest. However, it should still have a little more CPU power.
[wonderplugin_slider id=17]The test sample was provided by LincPlus without obligation. There was and is no influence on the tests and results. There was also no compensation for expenses and no obligation to publish.
