- This Mini PC does EVERYTHING? AOOSTAR R1 Review
In this video we take a look at the AOOSTAR R1 Mini NAS PC featuring Intel's N100 CPU and the ability to run two 3.5" hard drives. It makes for a good introduction to a NAS or media server using a mini PC.

Perfect hardware to pair with OpenMediaVault for your NAS needs, along with CasaOS for your containers.
Thank you for checking the activation. Very useful with these mini PCs.
The price feels really good for what you get.
Thanks for the video.
Another informative and perfectly entertaining video. Thanks 😃
Nice video👍 6:02 -- thank you for emphasis. N100 has 9x maximum PCIe Gen 3 lanes.
Kindest regards, friends and neighbours.
A cool feature for home lab on this unit is the dual Intel NICs. You can use this equipment as a firewall with PFSense, OPNSense and probably some other open source software.
Great review, though i will wait to see if it comes to the UK
To get idle power draw lower, can you not remove the wifi module and put the disks to sleep (not standby)?
TrueNAS Scale. It is much easier than you think.
Great review . Anybody with a solution to reduce noise / fan usage when using Linux (for instance Unraid) ?
Hey, I'm back. Great job. I've thought about doing a NAS but $3 for 250GB for cheap cloud and an external for local makes it not worth it. (For me at least)
Love that Sega Master System controller t-shirt, do you have a link to that?

Interesting with 2x HDD but I prefer external HDD case with 2/4.
I ordered the Geekom Mini Air12 a week ago
I just got the Mini Air12 yesterday actually. Review coming soon™
I am getting the Ryzen 5500U version from AliExpress. It’s scheduled to arrive tomorrow. Can’t wait. 😂
I get the feeling you knew a lot more about NAS than you let on lol
Interesting piece of hardware. You said that the N100 could handle more than 32GB? Now that is new info for me but i have to admit, i didn't watch or read many N100 reviews. I assume that goes only for a DDR5 setup with a 48GB stick?
No, I said it can handle 32GB. Unsure about higher. Officially, 16GB was the limit.
Officially it's limited to 16gb.
But we have tested 32gb without any problem. And we have sold 3000+ units of the R1, and many of those customers are currently using 32G RAM on the R1 as well
@@Robtech Ah, i am sorry. Must have misheard it then. :)
Tried to use a mini PC as a server, following TH-cam tutorials and none of it made sense. Probably easier for a noob like me to use Win11. Never really saw the point though - don't create media and ripping DVDs is a massive pain, when it works. Might give something like this a punt for the hell of it though
Yeah, hopeless. A bunch of nerds in a cult trying to protect their inner sanctum or something. Stop wasting our time with fake tutorials if you're not going to share your "secrets".
DDR5 would have been nice. But its pretty and nicely priced. 👍
Sort of agree that things can be hard as a beginner. But it is definitely not correct to say there aren't any zero experience tutorials out there. Especially for Unraid (which has a cost yes but is well worth it) and TrueNAS. Omv is okay I guess but CasaOS would also have been a very decent option. A bit sad you're not willing to give it another go.
I'd rather pluck my eyeballs out with a screwdriver then go through another fake Proxmox for beginners tutorial.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
btw, what you said about the "tutorials" about NAS, is what I remember last time when I tried to find tutorials and help from people about Linux some years ago. Dogshit indeed.
This is an interesting unit. For the same money you can get something like a Synology (or for a bit more, probably a SNAP) pre-built 2-drive NAS. You'll still have to add your own hard drives (and of course they could be SATA SSD 2.5 drives rather than the 3.5 spinners, just as could be the case with these) , but they'll have a nice web interface built in and will make it much easier. OTOH, they probably won't let you easily upgrade the RAM and use it as other than intended. I like that nice large fan, though if it's noisy all of the time a Noctua would be much nicer.
Not to "doubt the authenticity of their data", are they saying it's expandable to 32GB of RAM because they tested it with DDR4 instead of DDR5? Will 32GB of DDR5 turn it into a lump of liquid plastic?
RAM is not forward or backward compatible. If the slot is DDR4, that's all you can use.
We have personally put DDR4 32G in the R1 and it works fine, we have sold many units of the R1 in China, and many Chinese customers are now using 32G RAM in the R1, and we also sell 32G RAM configurations on our website.
@@cigijelisia4251Do you find AOOSTAR a good company to deal with that releases reliable products? I’m seriously considering a quite different unit (the Ryzen 7940HS version of the AOOSTAR GEM10) but AOOSTAR is far less known here in Europe compared to companies like Beelink or Minisforum so I’m a bit nervous about buying a GEM10 especially when I read lots of complaints about the Minisforum UM790 having frequent lockups, reboots and BSODs.
@@julianfp1952 Sorry, but as an AOOSTAR employee, I definitely think AOOSTAR products are reliable
The AOOSTAR brand has done relatively few promotional campaigns, so it's not surprising that it's very little known in Europe.
But I think you should have heard of the T-BAO brand, the overseas T-BAO operation is our company will sell the overseas operation rights to another company, overseas T-BAO machines are purchased from our company, but the accessories and configurations will be a little different
You don't want to virtualize with this type of device.
It might be out of your wheelhouse, but there seems to be a market opportunity for a TH-cam creator to cover Jellyfin for beginners and the requisite networking considerations.
