Je l'utilise comme serveur sur une FreeBSD 14.2 en raid 1.Les 2 Go de ram suffisent largement pour faire tourner postfix, dovecot, apache24.Penser à prendre pour la première configuration l’adaptateur micro displayport vers hdmi et le câble pour faire un raid si besoin.Il chauffe très peu, environ 30°, à voir dans le temps si il est fiable...

I am totally new to this and still trying to get it up and running. From what I understand, the OS is bundele with a GUI that will help anyone easily navigate the OS and not have to know command lines. If this works as advertised, I will be very happy. Will update when I get it up and running and see how it really works.Update: Now up and everything is working as it should. Folders, accounts and links to programs are all there when you first login. A few more tutorials should get me up to speed soon. For now I really, really like how simple this is to use. After I connected this to my modem the user interface came up stright away. Then my cable modem reported possible security issues with this device and blocked access to it from web.. I shut it down until I can resolve that issue and add a fan to keep it and the 2 HDDS cool. I will update when I get that sorted out. If I didn't have any security measures in place it probably wouldn't be a known issue.Last update:I really like how easy this is to setup. Other devices, like NASs or a servers are much more complicated to me. This gets you up and running quickly with little effort on the users part. My network is protected with software so getting this configured isn't an issue. Personally I just need more time to do that, being a newbie and all. Compared to other systems that hog resources and cost 3 to 5 times more, I think this is the better choice. I HIGHLY recommend it.

I bought my Zimaboard 232 for a pfSense project, to build a dedicated site-to-site Wireguard tunnel between my data core pfSense router and a new remote node. As a long-time Raspberry Pi builder, I was really excited by the possibilities of the Zimaboard.My first impression was that the coolness factor is just off the charts. The heatsinks look sweet. No fans. Dual NICs, PCIe slot, how cool is this! The chipset even supports AES-NI CPU crypto, which is really important for VPN routers (even though I don’t get to take advantage of that with Wireguard). The possibilities are vast with this thing. For my application, I added rubber feet to stabilize it on a flat surface. The Zimaboard has enough weight to make it stick to a desktop nicely with the added feet. I’m a bit surprised this wasn’t included with it.Installing pfSense was exactly as it usually is (F11 key to enter boot device selection to boot from USB). It went quick with no surprises. It assigned the two NICs to re0 and re1, left and right ports on the rear of the Zimaboard respectively. I have read online that pfSense sometimes has issues with Realtek NICs, but after 3 weeks of heavy traffic utilization, I have had zero glitches. I have not had to disable hardware checksum offload in pfSense. Solid.I have pushed close to 10 TB of data through my Wireguard tunnel in the last 3 weeks, and it hasn’t missed a beat. The processor keeps up with Wireguard throughput up to around 150mbps very well. I will attach a screenshot of the pfSense dashboard that was captured after a large file transfer had been running through the Wireguard tunnel for about 10 minutes at around 80mbps. This is perfect for my application.It also comes with some very cool stickers, which I just love. Nice touch.Rock solid on pfSense so far. So cool!

Running Proxmox on this unit with 4 servers that I'm using for training. They are not the fastest but for a home lab, it works great. Use Proxmox at work.

I liked it but I wanted something more user friendly for setting up a NAS. It's a pretty cool server that has a lot of capability. As others have said, you should get the 8Gig RAM version but the one I picked up was quite adequate and was only like 70 bucks.

Duuhh, Sorry.****-----****Reading the comments of Xbox Gamertag (3 stars only), and in the second comment he says:"2. Sometimes Zima gets into a weird state and will not power on. Plugging in the power cable makes the power light flash once and turn off. To fix this you have to disassemble the case and unplug the CMOS battery which is thankfully socketed, then power it up. I've observed this happens the most when any kind of sleep or hibernation feature turns on. If you didn't know this, you'd just think it was dead and return it as junk. Be sure to disable all sleep, hibernation, and power saving OS options to avoid this."That is happening to my ZB and was this close to return the item. I will hold to it for a couple more weeks and see if I can withstand the hassle.Going from 2 to 3 stars. I will update my comment in case there is something worth mentioning.3 photos attached showing acrylic base removed and Brass Spacers Standoffs added.UPDATE (SEP 7, 2024):I installed pfSense as my personal firewall and router, working great so far. Nothing to complain about. Zero issues.

Nutze ihn für Proxmox. Funktioniert super, sparsam im Stromverbrauch. Wer lust auf basteln und keine Lust auf ARM und co hat, sollte hier getrost zugreifen. das ZimaBlade ist eine sehr gute Weiterentwicklung, sofern man mit einem RJ45 anschluss klarkommt.
