Aiffro K100 All SSD NAS. Low Power, High Performance!

Intel N100 is what all these SSD NAS prebuilt's are running. Not enough lanes and it's a cheap chip. Can build an all-SSD NAS (without the SSDs) for nearly half the cost.

They should be selling this thing for $250. Then they'd have a chance. At 390 with the discount, easy "nope" from me. For the 450 regular price? Practically highway robbery lol

At the beginning of the video, you are saying that you would never show us something that you don't like. I think that you SHOULD show products and software that you don't like and tell us why you don't like them. That would help us when we have to choose a product and we find that product that you didn't like and on which you didn't make a video. Also, that would increase the credibility of the review/show-and-tell of product that you do like. Maybe just make it obvious in the title of the video... Thank you for all the time you put producing those videos. They are great.

Well done! Appreciate the power readings. For reference, my old Synology DS1815+ with 5 HDDs uses ~27W at idle and ~62W when active. The 6W idle would be a nice savings, so I'm considering it.🤔

A 20 minute commercial. Wonderful.

That price with the N100 yeah naah.

Cool device. I've made a much smaller NAS out of a Beelink Mini PC using the included NVME drive and a 2.5" SSD. This looks like a much cleaner solution at a price.

On top of the expensiveness that other commenters are pointing out, ZFS (which would ostensibly be the goal of any type of NAS whether z1 z2 or z3) would wear out the drives faster. Even ZFS mirror would wear out an NVMe far faster than it would a traditional 3.5. This is on top of needing essentially 1GB RAM per 1TB storage. The N100 doesnt have enough PCI lanes to saturate Gen 4 NVMe lanes and isnt powerful enough to manage a SAS even had you the option to do as such. All of that is before the fact that I mention that you have to install the OS on one of the 4 drives that you put in (you do this at 11:25) which means that you dont have 4 drives at your disposal, you have 3. I fail to see the thought that went into designing this product besides just tossing 4 NVMe slots on a N100 chipset.

The big problem here is the N100. That platform has only a single RAM channel, and very few PCIe lanes, so I am thinking these 4xNVMe devices are only Gen 3 x 1 lane each, so throughput will not be that impressive. Hence the limited amount of network bandwidth supplied. So, at the price, thanks, but no.

interesting video, full nas with SSD is not in current roadmap^^" actually i dont have a "nas" yet i have a motherboard with an i5 3470 (3.2ghz) + 16go ram, this will be a good start, and if i dont need a nas i can make another think with it

This looks to me like a mini pc and the company realize they could not sell it as pc with n100 so they repackaged it as a NAS good item tho

What is the point of a complete ssd nas if it only has a single 2.5gb port? The system is very expensive for the n100, the only advantage is the many ssd slots, of which you have no real advantage in terms of speed if you are limited to a single 2.5gb port. I see, many people certainly don't have the network infrastructure to make use of several 2.5gb or even 10gb ports, but then I dont see a reason for an ssd-only nas anyways I'd rather buy a standard mini pc with n100 cpu, also one 2.5gb port and only one or two ssd slots for half the price. (Apart from the fact that you can get "firewall pc's" from china for 250-350€ with the n100 which are equipped with 4-8 2.5gb ports, and several ssd slots. Admittedly, the delivery times for these things are rarely less than 1 month but still..) love your vids tho'

What power monitor is that you are using in the video?

Your wiki page is down with an ssl error. Idk where else to get ahold of the websites owner 😅

Some extra capacity for a small OS drive would be nice.

Could you get your hands on the new ugreen nvme offering? Has the 1235u cpu and 4 drive bays. Seems a better overall unit

Static charge drives are not reliable for long term storage, imo. Performance vs reliability payoff is suspect. And the presenter glides right over the fact he'd be backing up this nas for sure. The cost per storage volume is an obvious red-flag as well, eco-benefit be damned.

I hope next content cloud system with Next cloud

Are any of these companies ive never heared of using that open source bios?

So many compromises with this product, only reason this gets a outlandish good review is becuase the channel is prone to accepting payment for bought positive review.
