Tiny NAS! ZimaBlade NAS Kit Review – Jellyfin Install, Linux/CasaOS, & 2 NAS HDDs
Big SALE Now: https://epicpants.com ZimaBlade Official Shop: https://bit.ly/4cB9avA ZimaBlade Personal NAS: https://bit.ly/3VZJZgR ZimaBlade on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/ZimaBlade-Hackable-Personal-Ethernet-Attached/dp/B0D4DFLP2Z?tag=tekksynd20-20 ------------------------------------------------ My Music: https://zweihander.com Website: https://teksyndicate.com ----------------------------- I really like this ZimaBlade X86 Single Board Server. It's a ton of fun and extremely useful. I has a quadcore (one of 4), ram slot, gigabit port, DisplayPort, and PCIe 4x port. So, since it's x86 and has a RAM slot, the sky is the limit. It comes with CasaOS, which I think is good for most. It's an OS that makes installing docker containers trivally easy. I installed Jellyfin with a few clicks. In this video, I'm testing the entire ZimaBlade 7700 NAS Kit. You get 16GB of RAM, A dual SSD cable adapter, and a little dual hard disk rack (oh, and a USB C power supply). One note, DO NOT use this USB C power supply with anything else... It's usually safe... but I fried some stuff trying. #zimablade #zimaboard #linux #casaos #debian #nas #jellyfin Social: https://easymode.im/@ward/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/teksyndicate/ https://bsky.app/profile/wardhale.bsky.social Discord: https://discord.gg/vsCxNSD Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/midnightdojo/ For marketing (sponsorship opportunities) inquiries email [email protected] -- We will only email from @teksyndicate.com or @midnightdojo.com email addresses.

This won't just be on Amazon, in fact, it's probably best to check B&H first. So, look at the links above to see how good the deals are. I've been using a Synology DS918+ since it came out. I loved it, but it was time for an upgrade. The biggest difference here is that we can install a 10 GbE ethernet adapter, two M.2 NVMe SSDs. and plenty of ram. The DS923+ allows you to create storage pools with your M.2 NVMe... so combine that with the 10 GbE (also runs at 2.5 if that's what you have) and you can edit 4k videos right from the nas.

It's on the left, then the tabs are on the taskbar to the right. See the video for a full demonstration. I didn't realize how much I missed this layout.

I have used them many times in the past, but that was usually on their cloud hosting plans. The VPS prices are amazing for what you get. So, I decided to test it out.... after-which, I agreed to make the video. You get AMD Epyc CPUs, NVME, and more ram the most of the competition (comparing prices). The servers were snappy too. The real thing that impressed me was just how easy it all is. I love that your ip address stays the same even if you change your OS. That makes DNS management easy. Also, the one-click application installs are very convenient. I tried several before deciding to focus on Cloudpanel and Cyberpanel. Why these two panels? Well, many people are afraid of VPS servers... they are worried that they won't know what to do... and they feel like they need cloud hosting. You get more for your money with VPS, but you generally need to know the command line... and Linux can be intimidating. Well, this isn't difficult at all. I was able to set up both Cloudpanel and Cyberpanel with just a few clicks. I didn't need to open the Linux terminal at all. Plus, if you get lost or want to go beyond the regular installation, there's…

There are some programs that have no replacements. Creative types especially have this problem... Linux does many things, but audio is not one of them. There are several other reasons that keep people tied to platforms like #windows10, #windows11 and #MacOS. #linuxgaming has also come a long way, but modding support isn't fully there yet. This may or may not matter. Let's discuss all the reasons I'm stuck on linux... and I'm just writing nonsense at this point. I hope I got enough fancy words into this thing to make it beat the all-go-rhythm (I'm afraid to type the real word because... what if THEY are watching!).
