Hey Patrick possible to do a review of the iKoolcore R2 Max?
Soft Router with 10Gbe rj45.
Lots of the soft router out there with 10Gbe only comes with SFP.
My ISP modem (ONT) is using RJ45. So this helps.
The time that you spend for init is not because of TRAID but because of EXT4. Wrong choice when disk is more than 500GB
No ecc support for a NAS box? What the hell is this trash?
I'd rather have 4x M.2 at PCIe4/4 lanes and two 10GbE nics, so I'll wait for some AMD version with more lanes available. 4TB are still too expensive, and why waste 75% of the storage throughput potential when paying a premium for NVMe storage.
I will actually not buy this just because it asks for my email address. Maybe I'd just put TrueNas scale on it.
Put the thermal pad on the bottom of the heat sink first. It is much easier.
are people not aware of $30 pcie x16 to 4 bay m.2 raisers cards, depend whats desktop you have (mines can get 128tb+), i just price a desktop with 8 slots of m.2 (half pcie 5) and 10g network, r5 7500 cpu faster now size is double but atleast upgradeable and cheaper.
No moving parts except the fans!
I know some people will think its not a good NAS but for the size and noise you won't finding anything like it. A great compact system which you could just pop into a bag and take with you of plugin when your at your desk. Its probably the best mobile NAS on the market. In terms of speed most people won't max this out for every day users most people are just getting 2.5gbe now. Like Patrick said thou its a shame they didn't come up with a better solution for the nvme's.
Love the clips. Nice little unit.
At $700 USD you can just make a much more powerful ryzen 7600 ITX box, I'm using as asrock deskmeet x600 it was $200 + CPU + RAM + NIC = $600 total. For fun I ran a 100gbe nic in it and was getting 40gbit.
soon 16TB m.2 nvme in 2280 form factor should launch, but the prices are still crazy high to switch to ssd if you are not using it to make money…. heavy duty U.2/U.3 are available in up to 32/64TB range but they cost like a used car, hope china will go into production of flash nand on a big scale to attack the market and we get some good enough ssds that pricewise beat hdds soon, would like to have a box like above with 100TB in some raid for security and still some free slots for a later upgrade
Is the BIOS able Boot linux ?
Does the system support ECC RAM?
INTEL IS F-ING GARBAGE.
1) NO ECC 2) not 10gig NIC but in fact 8gbit 3) low per nvme ssd lane allocation 4) high price = DEFINITELY NO BUY
No ECC memory for a NAS / Storage device – on par with average consumer NAS – but if you really care about data integrity- big no no
8x ssd nas 10GbE – sounds awesome. But 8x pci-e v3x1 ssd nas 10GbE – device for garbage can. Waste of SSDs.
Proprietary SW? No thanks! Stock Linux or FreeNAS, thanks. And please pipe down about “too much cpu” that not a thing. Too expensive, too hot, etc are things.
This almost could have been interesting, but SPF+ is a must. None of this BaseT stuff.
Ceph Storage Node?
9 lanes of IO is pretty silly nowadays. I wonder why companies continue to buy and use these crippled CPUs.
Still no rack mount 😞
Does anyone do Raid 5s anymore that care about the data… R5 is not a great choice at all.
