- Jon GreenwoodMUST HAVE homelab device - Amazing Value!With zimabladeI have been able to set up an entire stack for my house that previously did not exist. Currently I am running over 30 different services hosted on two 2 TB ssds connected to the zima device.
Casaos has been extremely easy to use and the simple yet effective UI is great for power users like myself, but is even better for new users. My girlfriend, who is not technically inclined whatsoever has been able to restart the device and even install new applications that she needed for her animal security cameras to work without my help.
At only $150, the device provides Nas capabilities as well as security system capabilities that hooked directly into my camera system and also provide smart home and many microservices all within a single unit with only 65% CPU and RAM utilization.
I highly recommend this device for home labbers as well as individuals looking to get into tinkering with Tech devices as it provides plenty of understandable UI and ux along with plenty of ports and expandability to work similar to a raspberry pi, yet not quite as advanced. - Patric MezaEasy to setup and very stableI have two of these and have found them to be easy to setup and very reliable. They do not drop off the network and are very easy to upgrade.
- Axx HelllSo far so goodSo far so good I’ll update if anything weird happens
- Lex EchtleGood! get itits a little slow, but much better in terms of power consumption than a normal NAS. no noise whatsoever. Good for the money I spent on it. The Home Assistant App that comes with Casa isn't customizable as much as the Raspberry pi. Don't expect this thing to run a fast minecraft server, do use this thing for file storage on a budget.
- Derek VierusGreat for TinkeringGot this device as a little tinkering box and it's been pretty versatile. Got this with an NVMe PCIE device and everything worked right away. I installed Linux as a little home server and has worked well since.
Had some caveats due to not doing a lot of research before getting this. 16GB ram stick are expensive except the one IceWhale sells, but IceWhale RAM sticks have a pretty significant delivery lag time at the time of this review (2-4 weeks). 8GB RAM sticks are pretty quick to get though. Also, be sure to have a 12v/3amp USB-C power supply on hand as they only ship the USB-C cable without a power adapter with this unit. - GregWsILWell, that was irritating....I bought two of these because I needed a small form factor tinker toy. This fit the bill especially because it was on sale.
Gripe: Ram doesn't come with it. Yeah, I know it says that right in the description... but this is DDR 3 ram we are talking about at this point, there should be a landfill of this stuff just like the chips used in the product (not complaining about that piece... just saying)
Actual issue: The biggest one of them all. Where the heck are you all finding the exact chargers for these things besides buying them direct from IceWhale? I used 7, yes... SEVEN... different chargers in my house and none of them worked. Just a solid red light when attempting to power on.
My biggest beef here is that, if the company wants to make a product that's actually going to be used, they need to not make a charger that is uncommon to the common user. It feels very bait-and-switchy to have to say "Sure, we will sell you the base model of a product at an excellent price, but to make it actually work, you have to spend more money on a specific item from us". That's like saying, I'll sell you the car, but the key is extra.
I REALLY wanted to love this product. I watched so many videos reviewing this thing and it really fit the bill for what I wanted. But this power cord thing soiled it for me for the product and the company. - Jaime BalderasVery nice purchase. I’m a happy customer!Received, installed and my older dell 7568 works much faster. Thank you!
Price was decent for this memory module. Installation was a breeze and my laptop recognized the memory just fine, no compatibility issues at all. Happy that my laptop’s speed increased! - Randy HansonSeems to be a quality product.I ordered because it fit the specs for ram in my laptop. It was either faulty, or the motherboard didn't accept it. I use to repair PCs. It looked like a quality stick of ram. The soldering on the chips where solid. I would say if it worked for me it would have been a solid upgrade. Unfortunately with DDR3 and older laptops you take a chance of compatibility. All you can do is try. I would recommend this product. Even if it was faulty you can tell it is a quality part.
