ZimaBoard 2 1664 x86 Home Server, Quad-Core N150, 16GB LPDDR5, 64GB eMMC, PCIe 3.0×4 Expansion, Dual 2.5GbE & Dual SATA3.0, Low-Power 24/7, All-in-One NAS/Router/Docker/Home Lab with ZimaOS

Great device, but they really need to work on documentation, especially first time startup is very skechy. Other that documentation issue it works great. For standard setups only use one of the ethernet ports unless you combine them with software first (if you try it without combining them first it really confuses windows apps!).

Since it’s built to accommodate external HDD/SSD storage to use so many Docker containers, it should have an easy method to select the exact location for them to be stored rather than on the eMMC - other than that, very well done

It did NOT look fully new. It had some apparent wear on the exterior. Works as advertised.

A great homelab or NAS setup for those interested in running a headless setup! The ZimaOS web interface is very easy to use and allows for a much simpler experience for adding apps and other services than your typical linux based homelab. The app store has a nice selection of apps and utilities to choose from in the realm of network solutions, file sharing, media servers, etc. I also appreciated the ease of setting up file sharing compared to linux based/command line alternatives. My only issue with the product was that despite having a miniDP output, the ZIMA OS does not natively support a display. In my case, I purchased this device to partially serve the purpose of a NAS as well as power a display for my home automation system via touchscreen display. Ultimately, I had to abandon the ZimaOS and install a linux distrobution instead to have it meet my needs. That said, it was also very simple and the hardware did very well accommodating multiple different distros and touch screen capabilities. I do however wish that the product description made clearer that despite the hardware having a display output, the Zima OS does not support an external display.

Nice little tinkering system. ZimaOS is adequate. Having issues installing Proxmox on the emmc, not sure of the root cause of that yet. Debian, Ubuntu, and Mint have installed without issues. Have yet to try Arch, Kali, or TrueNAS. Over all, I'm happy with it, might but a second.

You can literally set up an entire home lab with Proxmox, pfSense/OPNsense, and an Ubuntu VM on this board, and still have room to grow.

Insane system for the amount of things I can run in parallel.

Day One, Hour One, Step One, Screw #4: stripped. Great now I have to find something to get this screw out in order to mount it to the aluminum whale dock. Used included screwdriver and everything. Honestly not impressed with the quality, I understand that 3/4ths of the price comes from the RAM, but maybe get better screws/ use more standardized screw heads/ or come up with a different way to strap that dock to the board. Work in progress, I'll get back with more review after I get the thing mounted.

Produto sensacional, atendeu todas minhas espectativas e ainda mais pelo tamanho. Como não tenho muito espaço disponivel, encaixou como uma luva.
