7:08 one use-case for an internal USB like that was a quick and dirty way to plug USB devices inside a PC case, with no external way to get at them and then locking off the case so it can't be opened, or you literally fill all external USB ports with solid block medium to stop them being used and hopefully harden the installation of the machine. This for the work I did was in installing information kiosks and point of sale machines, internally they had a data pack USB which "dynamic" content was inserted and it changed the kiosk content (no internet, no wifi, remote installations waaay out in the middle of nowhere and you didn't want any old USB being inserted into your machine 😄).

Great video! Ah, so then I definitely want to take the board out and build my own 2/3/4U box with Noctua fans. I'm thinking TrueNas Scale myself. Maybe the two M.2 slots would work well with a pair of small NVME drives for a boot pool. 🤔

Gbit Ethernet is slow. If ypu want to Access a nas storage , gbit Ethernet is insufficient. About 130 mbyte per sec at the very best in theory. And thats very slow.

8:50 of course Firewire/IEEE1394 controller and some bang-for-a-buck pro audio equipment

Cats like boxes :) [ those who reach the end of the video will understand ]

nice idea man. I have a n4 jonsbo and the rear fan is really terrible. I am gonna add try and add a 140mm like this,

My Asus B550-F Gaming Wi-Fi II has a Wi-Fi 6e/BT 5.2 (or 5.3 according to Windows) card there, but I found that the M.2 slot actually just uses PCI-e 2.1. So, if it's x2, 1GB/s max theoretical speed. Which, ya know, it's fine... WI-Fi 6e can't touch that. That little 2x S-ATA port would fully saturate the PCI-e x2 lanes IF ya were copying files from one S-ATA drive to the other on the same M.2 adapter. Even then, depends on your S-ATA drives. Some are 550MB/s read/500MB/s write and some are 500MB/s read and less. But, yeah, technically, PCI-e 2.1 x2 can handle whatever ya throw at it. Now, on this, you mentioned it isn't technically x2. It's 2x x1. I didn't see that in any literature on my board but curious if it's the same.

THANK YOU !! I was looking for a M.2 adapter for a SIM card like the one you show at 7:24. I have an old laptop that I travel with (old, small and cheap so it is not an issue if something happens to it) and I wanted to add cellular internet to it to not be reliant on external dongles.

Watching this today (May2024) and it's like you predicted the N3 lol

in 6.06 well that is the thunderbolt setup so if you conect a device witout thunderbolt support it will route the signal to the usb port if does it will go to pci-e connector

sata express if a fast interconnect so you can make a cluster of pcs

y wonder if you could desolder the cpu from the carrier board and install it to common server motherboard

About the wifi... Is it better to install/use the Wifi card and antennas or use a usb wifi dongle?

I have a z-170a with 2 of these ports too bad they are basically useless

N100 is better

This is a slightly older video. But there is now an M.2 card that allows you to plug in a tiny flash drive like the 'Ultra Fit' by Sandisk. They are slightly harder to find but they do exist as I have seen them

Very Cool . I just picked up a 1 to 5 duplicator to do this very same thing . My use Is just a NAS Box attached to a SFF Lenovo p330 Gen2. I'm wondering though, what low profile PCIE card to go with .? I would like to run externally from SFF LENOVO to DupeCase . sff 8088 to 4x sata. Any insight would be great.

I used something similar to the last adapter to connect an external gpu. Obviously with additional atx power supply. Worked as good as it could work in pcie3x1

Спасибо, очень интересное видео! Я думала, что видела большинство, из возможных, карт для порта m2, но я заблуждалась😅 Даа, поиск на алиэкспресс ужасен, я, по этой причине, не покупала там ничего много лет принципиально, но в последнее время не всегда есть альтернативы.

Can you add a ssd adapter

Jonsbo also came out with an 8 drive N3 case recently it seems decently bigger to move the PSU

The point of not including a bigger fan is likely to keep the small cube size/shape. Its about 20% smaller volume than the N1 and is pretty much a perfect cube. If you want better cooling there are bigger options (like probably the N1)

I just found one and can't wait to get inside.

I've bought silicon power ud90 500gb. Res LED is always blinking, idle, or writing it's always blinking rhythmically, it doesn't change the pulse. is that ok?

How do you get around transcoding with the AMD chipset? Edit: sorry continued watching and noticed you mentioned plex which was what I was going for with this build. Any recommendations for hardware for a plex server/ NAS? Edit2: Haha continued watching so a supermicro x7spah?

I don't think of ever need any of this, but the video was genuinely interesting. Thank you for making it.

Thanks for this review. Which model Noctua CPU cooler is that? Wish there was a way to filter by height on their website

You saved the best for last good sir! 👍

some of these could be useful in industry settings not home pc as interfacing with a lot of old equipment needs legacy components

I'm looking for one that just has Bluetooth

24:27 back when they still held a charge at all

Maybe we can have M.2 A E splitter cable sonwe have two M.2 AE 1x1 slot.

Ah the Itanic lol.

Hi. Motherboard bios in some cases limits M.2 WiFi to certain device types. In my case it accepts any network adapters, but does not see video cards.

nice! i love nieche exentric tech so much!

Did you get the Sagittarius 8-bay case from the description yet? There really isnt anything about it out there. My main concern about it is the PSU location right over the CPU, which severely limits cooling options, especially if i want to use it for more intensive tasks.

Great platform if you can make use of the AVX-512 instructions. Otherwise, power efficiency is quite bad compared to AMD Epyc.

Server motherboards usually have an internal type A for booting, that M.2 would be handy if you wanted to cheap out with a consumer motherboard and didn't want to bother with a PXE server.

I have the wifi card at 0:50 but my pc dont have the AE M.2 SLOT. Is there any adapter that converts the AE KEY TO PCIE.?

Where do you get those storage boxes for the m.2 ssd?

I dont understand NAS storage being reviewed here! I have an Iomega StorCenter px4-300d from years ago with 4 4tb HDD and only thing I had to upgrade was memory. Do all NAS need you to buy computer board, memory and power supplies????

Merci.

Very Cool .. Thank You for sharing .. Cheers :)

Thanks for the video!

thinking about putting there i5 12400 and RX6400 single slot low profile card (the best you can fit in there), and put 4 2.5 SSDs of 2Tb each (which are laying around rn), for RAID 1. Perfect build, tbh, to configure as store for valuable work data. And maybe some classic vidya

I bought the u-Nas 810a. Both take matx motherboard but another huge difference is way expansion cards are supported. U-Nas needs a pci-e extension cable per card while Audhed supports 1/2 height cards

Can use this? 05:56 ?

Well sata power connector can deliver about 54wats max i am pretty sure that is enough for 8 drives :)

Just flip CPU fan upside down and you good to go. It will blow hot air up und pull fresh air through filtered slots

It's a different interface for the same bus (PCIe)... so I don't get its usefuleness, maybe it's cheaper in construction? It will confuse people though, its PCIe bandwidth is not mentioned, at least with the classic PCIe interface you can tell. With this, unless they label it, you can't. You'd be silly to connect a wifi card on PCIe with so many lanes to accomodate an NVMe drive. It might replace the PCIe interface as things become smaller, but it needs to be labeled, how many lanes, what''s the bandwidth.
