Nice platform to play with xcp-ng

Nice platform to play with xcp-ng. I am running TrueNAS as a VM, passing thru the SATA adapter, and the 10gb NIC. xcp-ng only recognizes the 5gb nic, which is fine. Running zfs raidz2 with some old 8TB IronWolf Pro NAS drives on TrueNAS, providing storage for xcp-ng. Runs cool, quiet, and so-far, reliable.

Great DIY NAS

Using it as a PC with many drive bays and running ZFS is great. I prefer a DIY solution as far as NAS software is concerned. I tried using Minis MS-01 with 2 Yottamaster 5bay thunderbolt connection, but the disk was keep dropping. With the N5 Pro I have yet to encounter any dropped disks. I even have the Yottamaster attached.

A lot of power for a good price

This seems to be a great, well layed out piece of hardware. The OS NVME drive was a brand I wasn't familiar with, but I left it in place to try out. The only thing I knocked a star off for is the OS. Requiring a 3rd party app and not having a simple web UI configuration system is a big negative, so I blew it away and installed TrueNAS. I'm not downloading shady mobile apps to manage a storage appliance.

One of the best solution in term of nas machine

One of the best solution in term of nas machine.

Featured pack NAS for 2025! Powerful hardware and plenty of options for NAS OS setup

Featured pack NAS for 2025! Value for money if you get in early during the pre-sales and also the excellent construction quality is usual Minisforum standard and option to go Pro and Non-Pro stands down to how much power you need from your home NAS. If only to store and retrieval of files and media, the Non-Pro is more than sufficient. The Pro model is really meant for home labs and running local LLM. The ability to pre-load any opensource NAS software if you don't like MinisCloud OS is perhaps a compelling choice as an alternative DIY NAS for 2025. Easy to setup, excellent quality, powerful hardware and storage expandability.
