Firewall Mini PC N100

Since you mentioned it’s mainly for media streaming. Get an intel gpu with integrated graphics over any AMD chip. Quicksync will benefit you so much, AMD (even dGPU’s) are much worse than Intel’s iGPU. If you ever plan on expanding with say immich, the argument would even be enhanced. I would recomm

I went with CWWK Mini PC N100 Firewall Hardware 2 x 10GbE SFP+, 2 x i226V 2.5GbE LAN. I had to add my own SSD and RAM, but both of which I had lying around anyway, so it was put to use. I have a 2 gig fiber connection, and it never bottlenecks it. Not doing a whole lot with it, just some VPN and dyn

No, it's still a NAS. What you would be building is a NAS. SAS is a different type of connection capable of higher speeds, 12GB/s whilst SATA is 6GB/s. Now in a NAS, you're not going to notice this, at all. It's simply the protocol. An SAS HBA (Host Bus Adapter) would simply allow the use of cheaper

CWWK Firewall Mini PC Intel N Series N100, DDR5 16G RAM 512G NVMe SSD, 4 x 2.5GbE i226V LAN Got it off amazon like 2 years ago to replace another one I had that wasn't working because it had Realtek for Lan , This one works well, and does good for Home use , especially for the price. I run 1 GB Cabl

I have 5xHDDs, 4xSSD, and 1xM.2 connected to this N100 board. I have this USBC card in it and this M.2 SATA adapter in it. I stuffed it all into a Jonsbo N2 (pic), but you could put it in any old pc case. You could swap the USB card for a SATA card and get all of your drives connected. A $163 ITX bo

The N100 is a great platform. I've had a few variants and I am a fan of the CWWK CW-NAS-ADLN-K. I think the sacrifice of 2 NICs in preference for a real x4 PCIe slot is a good call. Also being this is a Gen2 board, it moved from a JMB585 to ASM1166 SATA controller with helps dramatically with power

I would say so... CWWK mini pcs on Amazon has dual 10gig SFP+ ports with quad 2.5gb ports I have the low powered N100 ones added 16Gb of ddr5ram and 128GB Nvme running Pfsense with Works great for multiwan/multigateway purposes I have 1 SFP+ port going to ONT for 2gig fiber 1 SFP+ port going to 10G

its probably a good question to ask specifically what you are aiming for / chasing? because some of thes are a bit contradictory and overspecced the n100 / n150 / n305 etc setups are great for power efficiency and using them as routers / firewalls is great in general but from what you've suggested i

Hello, I did not really know what to expect of the N100 in terms of thermal dissipation so to be on the safe side I went for the Noctua instead of the passive cooling. Now, the Noctua is really really, really quiet. I set it to spin at ~1,100 rpm (35%) and honestly I cannot hear it. So in terms of n
