UPDATE. Had time to kill and came across this USD$10 Coupon. Enjoy.

I've been running a home server (basic file sharing, I'm not sophisticated) off old PCs for many years. Replaced spinners with NVMe's a couple of years ago and have been eyeing this budget NAS/PC for a few months.
It has a few (lots for some) shortcomings but should be perfect for my case.

It was out of stock for several months and is now back in a slightly different trim. This variant uses N95 CPU but gets 16gb of RAM.
The price is good considering sellers on Ali ask $800+. Especially after the coupon . Pick the AU variant for NZ delivery. Otherwise you'll spent a couple of weeks in email exchanges. They are very helpful but just go with AU…

    This discount has reached its usage limit.

    Gutted.

  • Nzruzzki on 31/01/2026 - 08:33

    Thanks. Updated. Still think it's a worthwhile buy but that usd$25 discount made it a bit better.
    It was usd$209 in the old trim with $12gb of RAM before but they had no stock.

    The current SSD pricing is what kills this concept for me. I did toy with having essential files on something like this and use my main nas as a backup for it but you're staring at far too much outlay with drive pricing to just be able to get rid of plugging in a USB drive and updating a cloud version.

    Hopefully see some deals on beelinks new 3 5inch bay nas drives as they come out.

    i got a mini pc back in 2023 for 129usd off amazon us had some gift cards to spend on black Friday sale that included tax shipping was free but mine has n100 cpu and had 512gb nvme ssd and 16gb ddr5 ram good little mini pc i still use it

    at the time the n95 mini pc cost a little more had bit better cpu power but i went for the n100 had better gpu power and in the bios you could change the TDP to 15w or more to match or even beat the n95 cpu performance

    pc prices suck now

      I got a little n100 gmktec one the middle of last year for under $140nzd on AliExpress. Swapped out the 512gb for a cheaper pbtech 128gb SSD and flashed it with nonsense and it's been a great very sturdy router that's solved all my networking problems. Had I known what was around the corner I probably would have picked up another couple of them at that price but they seemed to be regularly very cheap when I finally managed to land one of the deals.

      • Tmurder91 on 31/01/2026 - 12:02

        What’s the cheapest option for using as a router these days, ie that has at least 2x networking ports? Seems everything has exploded in price and nothing compelling

        • ace310 on 31/01/2026 - 12:09

          Atleast 2 x2.5g port should be enough. Or pcie slot to add more port.

          12-16gb ram/128+gb ssd

        • Everettpsycho on 31/01/2026 - 13:03

          2x network ports is a minimum, but on an n100 with 12gb of ram mine is barely breaking a sweat. Mine only has 1gb etherbet and for me that is fine for now. I'd say any of those cheapo units on AliExpress with multiple ports would gmdo you just fine, if I was putting it in a cabinet if go for a passive cooling version though.

    • Nzruzzki on 31/01/2026 - 12:37

      Mini PCs are good value but have limited HD expansion. This is cheap enough and you can keep adding 2tb ssds as your movie collection grows

      • Everettpsycho on 31/01/2026 - 12:54

        At this price I'd consider looking for a wtr pro where spinning drives can be used. At $300 for a 2tb drive now this thing would eat $1000 in ssds to make a 4tb array. Going mechanical drives you could double that for less money and it would be fine for a media server. Out the savings towards a smaller SSD cache.

        • Nzruzzki on 31/01/2026 - 13:20

          Well, I don't want the spinners. They are noisy. My box will sit in behind the TV and will double as a media box playing contents.
          I have an sff sitting there now but they don't have enough expansion to replace my server with multiple m2 connectors

          • Everettpsycho on 31/01/2026 - 14:24

            @Nzruzzki: Could you put one with spinners elsewhere and keep the sff as the player from the media server elsewhere?fair enough if you can't and the noise will be an issue. I only mentioned the option as for most users it would be far cheaper and offer all the performance they'd need.

            • Nzruzzki on 31/01/2026 - 16:15

              @Everettpsycho: That's what I have now. Want to optimize. And I don't need 10tb of space and 2tb ssds wheren't too bad

              • Everettpsycho on 31/01/2026 - 18:12

                @Nzruzzki: 2Tb m.2 drives are over $400 a drive on pb tech now. If you want any sort of parity drive you are looking at $1200 for a 2tb nas. I'd live with the noise at that value proposition 🤣 or pay a sparky to install some network cables and get that thing out the living room.

              This is the way I'd be inclined to do it - you get more bang for your buck (either a given budget to spend, or a given spec for the best price).

              An SFF PC with sufficient specs can likely be had for about $50 second hand (I have sold them on TradeMe last year with 8GB of RAM for that price, and never more than $70). I'm not sure that this use-case would need more than 8GB?

              I don't know for sure, but I would think you might be able to pick up a disk array on Temu or Ali Express with a load of 3.5" bays for less than $100? You might even find one on TradeMe - I haven't looked, and its a bit random, but if you aren't in a rush, that could be the best value.

    IMO this is what i feel i started using linux about 20 years ago , and have worked in dell .
    Intel N95 is not strong CPU but its good enough and efficient for certain use cases like pi hole and a few self hosted apps . like jellyfin or plex and few others , its alright , but now we have lots of different self hosted apps , some are very powerful and you will need powerful pc cpu .

    with linux you can use any computer old pc new pc any things is fine you can connect a DAS ( direct attached storage ) you can get a used powerful enterprise tablet laptop etc for really cheap about 400 ish nzd , das dual drive linux chipset suitable about say 50 ish to 100 nzd you can get more drives one , the think is mechanical drives are cheap compared to SSD and now there is shortage of RAM and fash memory so prices will be more for at least 2 years .
    prices of mechanical drives are also more now but not as much as flash memory .
    its super easy to back up DAS with another computer running DAS so you have dual back up if your worried you can link the DAS to cloud or major buckets like wasabi s3 many options blackblaze etc . ie you have 3 back ups ,
    i only back up important things which is our photos and personal video which i only need 4 tb drive and they are cheap .
    20 tb drives are about 500 ish nzd , + using powerful linux workstation pc hosting multiple apps its a very comfortable experience imo , and i have done this set up .
    MX linux 25 kde Workstation + DAS + docker + traefik + cloudflare ==> WWW
    i run a dozen apps comfortably .
    immich and photo prism needs strong igpu or gpu with are drop in replacement for google photos ,

    AliExpress has decent pricing on barebone N305.
