Hey all, I want to host a small home server as a private vpn, torrent box, Jellyfin server, small lemmy instance and maybe photo backup… I’m looking for a NAS box or something that would be power efficient and aesthetically pleasing enough for my living room that would be able to handle those tasks. I remember seeing an ad recently for a 2 bay NAS that also had room for 2 NVME. it looked kind of like a white volcano and it had a laptop grade cpu, which would be great I think. Unfortunately I can’t find the product anymore, and to be frank I don’t really know if that would be overkill for my use case. If anyone has any reccomendations I would love to hear them.

        We are actually one of the “old” Lemmy instances that pre-date the Reddit exodus by more than a year ;)

      Very interesting find, thank you! But it looks like this product only has a single NVMe slot (contrary to what is written on the website you linked)

        Both the text and the picture show two NVMe slots. But it only comes with one NVMe drive installed by default.

          Indeed, not sure why I missed that … I think I was looking at the 300U-version
