Unraid Licence key doesnt work.Support wont email back. Unit gets very very hot. I purchased this to be an easy storage server. waste of money really. will be sending back

Firstly this exceeded my expectations. I’ll openly admit I’m a massive nerd at times and I spent ages reasearching NAS’s to replace the old WD cloud storage which is way too restrictive and limited.Anyway, I found this amazing bit of kit, found out about unraid and the ability to run docker instances from the box and just blown away with the scope and performance of the little box and it’s so quite but sleek looking.I’ve got this connected to my home network at the moment so it’s limited to 1Gb but the ability to upgrade this later to up to 10Gb is a massive plus. Also that being said even at 1Gb file transfer is very fast and performance is excellent.Connecting the SD in was a breeze and once up and running it was quite easy to start storing data, setting up plex, deluge, jacket and other docker apps to help with storing and sorting files, as well as downloading any missing shows etc.There is little to no noise, a benefit of it being a SD based NAS and no spinning disks.All in all, this is an amazing find and if you’re serious about storage needs, wanting fast performance, want to nerd out a bit then this is for you. If you struggle with tech it may be a bit tricker to get setup and make use of all the bells and whistles but will do pretty much what you want out the box after the initial setup of the storage array

It's a very decent NAS product, i bought this for back up my trip photos, it totally does its job. The set up was straightforward, and it also compatible with plex streaming and Unraid. love it!

This product has earned a star due to poor instructions and performances. I purchased this device and it gave me a lot of difficulties to deal with. I tried to run an application that allowed me to upload photosvideos from my mobile phone to LincStation N1. Unfortunately, I spent two days to test various applications without a success. Nothing of those worked for me. Zero success at all.

As someone else wrote “its close, but not there” I was expecting it to be the size of a tv dvd player, and is quite smaller than that.It needs a bigger brother, maybe for 3.5” drives.This one needs to be at least 3 sata drives though, and it needs to accept larger 2.5” spinning sata drives, I bought some 4tbs and nope.I’m not unhappy, but I want just a little more from this same design. You’re on the right track. I hope you keep working on this design.I kind of want to put three in a cluster, I have nvmes I need to install in things like this.

Its just perfect! So easy to install dockers, it's even have VM on board, you can do everything you want with it, ftp, multimedia server, sql server, everything! Home projects? Yes!

Overview:I do not recommend this device unless you only want it for the hardware and you think the price is right for that alone. However, there are other, more versatile competitors becoming available every day.Do not purchase this if you want a plug and play solution. Look elsewhere.My full review:There are 3 primary reasons I purchased this over building my own NAS.1. Hardware - Low power, multiple nvme drives, quite.2. Software - Installed and ready to go, with some flexibility.3. Plug and play-ish - Throw in some drives and setup UnRaid.Hardware (4/5):Hardware is right on the mark for many home NAS users, including me. I just want a decent, multi nvme drive mini PC that is quiet and efficient on power. This fits the bill. It isn't spectacular in any way, but I don't need 5gbps or anything like that. Adding drives is easy, recognized them all. I even opted to use mechanical 2.5" hard drives, and they work just fine.Software (NA 0/5):I don't know how good UnRaid is because the LincStation N1 didn't come with a license in the box. Additionally, the 30 day trial ended one minute before I booted the device... seemed fishy. I tried to extend the 30 day trial and it also expired instantly. There is probably a way to reformat the included USB drive to get a new 30 day trial, but after hours of troubleshooting, I gave up and tried something else (OpenMediaVault and trueNas). Both other options I tried had plenty of issues and workarounds as well. And as another rviewer wrote, the lights just pulse and are annoying when using a different software.Yes, I purchased new directly from the LincPlus store. Shipped by Amazon. It arrived sealed in box. However, there were no tamper proof stickers anywhere and the "NEW" sticker was on the box itself, under the plastic wrap. This would make it fairly easy to unwrap it, take out the card and re-seal it with the right machine. Or for the seller to reseal/resell a return as "new" without verifying a key was removed. I will say that nothing looked used or tempered with on my unit, but that is exactly my point.Poor packaging for a unit that has a necessary and semi-valuanle key in the box.Ease of setup (0/5):One of the other reasons I purchased this was ease of setup. I decided I could afford to spend a little more money to have it work out of the box with pretty much all the hardware and software covered. That extra cost did not equate to any ease of setup for me. This was probably the worst way to go since it meant learning everything about NAS software available without expecting it. Had I built my own mini pc, I could have researched alternatives while I was accumulating parts.Support (3/5):So far LincPlus support has been responsive. They seem to be just as surprised as I was that there wasn't a UnRaid key in the box, asking me to "take a video" of some sort for confirmation. I'll update as a resolution unfolds.Update: Support ended up getting me a new for UnRaid key after some back and forth. Still haven't tested out the key or UnRaid because I've already gone another route. +2 stars for support. I still would only purchase if you plan to use/install your own software.

I just purchased the LincStation N1 and I couldn't be happier with my decision. I feel this is a cheaper and more versatile competitor compared to Asustor Flashstore that I have decided to skip on in favour of the LincSation N1. This device has exceeded all my expectations in terms of performance and software flexibility.Firstly, the setup was a breeze. I appreciated the user-friendly interface and straightforward instructions, which allowed me to get up and running in no time. Whether you're a tech novice or an experienced user, you'll find the setup process to be seamless. Easy to install the storage drives and setup the unit via network cable is simple. *Did not test the WiFi yet, as its only available via hardware passthrough only.In terms of performance, the LincStation N1 truly shines. Its powerful hardware ensures smooth and lag-free operation. (4 core CPU + 16GB RAM helps a lot, as most of the competitor in this price range only offers 4 or 8GB ram) I've experienced no slowdowns or hiccups whatsoever, which is a testament to the device's reliability in my opinion.Moreover, I have tested the 2.5GbE network connection on large media files, and I'm delighted to see that I consistently achieve transfer speeds between 250-280MB/s, which is exactly what I expected from this interface. (See pictures attached) It's reassuring to see the device perform so reliably under heavy network traffic.In the future, I intend to add larger drives and utilize Unraid's VM feature to install a Windows server. Then, this will even allow me to run a business backup software called; Veeam backup solutions. Configuring immutable backup storage in my home lab environment, I can safeguard all my work and projects, providing an added layer of protection against ransomware attacks. I can't wait to test out this configuration once my budget allows for larger NVMe drives. I can update my review on that later on of someone is interested. I'm impressed by the device's ability to handle such demanding tasks. With 16GB of RAM, it's more than capable of running a full-blown Windows VM alongside the Unraid OS, providing a seamless and efficient workflow.If you are on a market for a home storage NAS, this device is also perfect as storing media files, pictures or running applications like Plex is a breeze. This unit can fulfil any users home needs. I tested some docker features as well, works as expected. This one unit can do all for me. It will be my NAS Storage, Host for my virtual server and docker images and Plex as my home media server. I could stream 4K video content to my apple tv without any issues using Plex.Overall, I highly recommend the LincStation N1 to anyone in need of a reliable and versatile media player and storage solution. Its exceptional performance, ease of use, and robust features make it a standout choice in its category. Five stars without a doubt! Get this instead of QNAP or Asustor Flashstore product if you want to save some money.
