2.5" Hard Disk Stand

Great product and high quality service.

It’s a nice little lab server. I added two 1TB scsi drives. I’m using it to host my frigate nvr with 6 cameras. The case/heat sink gets a little hot so i put the drives in a 3D printed enclosure under it. So far so good.

I bought these to evaluate for storage and control plane nodes for my k3s cluster. It have been running as single node k3s for about 4 weeks without issues moving the workload of an older intel nuc. With dual sata ports I was able to mirror the disk and use this as primary contact point for minio (s3) for grafana and loki as well as running a standalone Nextcloud and homeassistant. This allowed me to only spin up a storage server for backup nightly and leave zimaboard handle all the 24/7 workload saving ~ 20 watts. It has less ram but handles the static workloads great and will probably buy 2 more for the 24/7 workload in k3s. Wish they came with more ram.

The build quality was better than expected and heatsink keeps it cool on medium to high load for days in a basement. What I am missing is a diskmount that connect to the board so they can be placed or stacked as one unit.

Overall good experience but like to see a 16/32 gb ram unit with same power consumption spec and a console port.

At first I don't know what to do with the HD stand. Until I saw a video of it. And I think the stand is more appropriate for SSD. Anyway I bought a SSD for it and it look great. I will put another SSD. But the point is there is no proper casing for the peripheral even the PCIe is hooked to the side of the Zimaboard. I wonder about messing up the external devices when they are left in such a state. Maybe there can be a good design enclosure for Zimaboard and I am sure the community would have come up with one, just that I have no time to google it and also I should get the 8Gb model if I want to use TrueNAS but I will try out the 2GB model to see how it work out. Thanks

Ottimo prodotto. Acquistato per dei test con Proxmox. L'ideale sarebbe potere avere anche CPU più performanti e maggiore RAM.
