It's a great product and overall happy with my purchase but it does fall short in a few minor ways like poor fan noise, lack of support for wake on lan for the non pro model, lack of RTC alarm or really any remote power on (there is a jumper on the board for power on on AC restoration which i use with a remote power switch). Having resolved both of those needs myself however the result is exactly what I wanted, a nice compact pair (pro and not) of boxes with easy accessible bays and a good base system and hardware behind it.

Icewhale worked well on developing the ZimaCube, delivering it to my doorstep and in post delivery service & resolution of issues identified by the community

Thank you and the community for the hard work behind a successful delivery!

The shipped OS is nowhere near ready, but after installing other OS and testing hardware, it works quite well. Seems like I luckily avoided many known quality issues other are having, the only current downside I know is the underwhelming cooling, but that should be fixed soon, so I remain very positive with this purchase.

The stock cpu cooling solution is not enough for the i5 model. Have to certainly add more fans and a beefier cooler to the upper part of the machine. Possibly even modify or print a new lid that has a fan slot on it to exhaust some heat. ZimaOS seems good enough for my usage, I’m not an advanced Linux/NAS user so I can’t weigh in on it too much. You can install unraid or truenas from what I’ve read and other users are doing well with those. Aside from the cpu cooling I’m very satisfied with my purchase so far

I am very satisfied with the workmanship. However, the NAS is very loud and uses a lot of power. It would be nice if the hardware reached a higher C-state when idle, like the CPU does (according to PowerTop, the CPU reaches C-state 10)
