It’s a mini PC when HDD drive bays. I bought the bare bones version and fitted the RAM and drives. I’ll install openmediavault on it but I probably won’t get around to it today.
Set up a mini PC with one some months ago as a home media box (with Kodi on Lubuntu) in my living room, which also works as a NAS and Torrent client over always on VPN.
CPU usage tends to be below 10% and you almost never hear the fan on the box turn on.
All this on a machine with a TDP of 15W.
I’d say the N100 is massivelly overpowered to be used just as a NAS.
What kind of goofy lil doodad is that?

I’m interested to hear what you think of the n100.
I’ve been running my home server on an N100 for like 10 months or so.
I love it. It’s a little workhorse that just sips power.
Same here.

I’ll run some other stuff on it too, like Jellyfin.
