New Lincstation S1 and N2 NAS Revealed
It seems like yesterday that we were talking about the chinese laptop and tablet brand Lincplus, and their intentions to extend their business into the world of NAS with their Lincstation N1 flash solution. However, in reality, that was all the way back in October 2024 in their crowdfunding campaign and since then, the brand has not appeared to slow down. Their crownfunding campaign went on to succeed, the N1 ended up landing on traditional retail outlets like Amazon etc in Spring 2023, and now the brand is on the verge of lanching two new NAS solutions – The LIncstation N2 and the Lincstation S1. One a refresh fo the original N1 with improved hardware in a bunch of areas, the other a completely new INtel N97 powered 4 Bay desktop NAS solution. Still arriving with that great UnRAID License partnership in place, the S1 in particular is an impressive move to challenge turnkey solutions from Synology, QNAP, Asustor, Terramaster and UGREEN – as thanks to the included UnRAID license, the Lincstation S1 will complete on their level! The N2 system appears to be largely based on feedback from users over the last year, but still seems to be build to a specific tier of value and scale as the N1 was – i.e AFFORDABLE FLASH NAS for the home/enthusiast/prosumer. So, let’s discuss the Lincstation N2 and S1 NAS, coming later in 2025.
Last Years Lincstation N1 (from our review HERE)
Lincstation S1 and N2 Specifications (so far)
The Lincstation N2 and Lincstation S1 are compact and powerfully efficient devices tailored for diverse computing needs. There specifications have been confirmed as follows:
The Lincstation N2 is powered by the Intel Alder Lake-N 100 CPU, supported by 16GB of onboard LPDDR5 memory, ensuring efficient performance for multitasking and demanding workloads. For storage, it features a flexible setup with 128GB of eMMC storage, a 2-bay SATA3.0 port supporting 2.5-inch HDDs, and a 4-bay M.2 port compatible with NVMe SSDs. This setup makes the N2 an excellent choice for users prioritizing high-speed storage solutions and scalability. The Lincstation S1, in comparison, is designed with a similar emphasis on versatility but with a more streamlined feature set. Powered by the Intel Alder Lake-N N97 CPU, it offers 8GB of DDR5 SODIMM memory, striking a balance between performance and affordability. The storage options are robust, with 128GB of eMMC, a 4-bay SATA bays supporting both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives, and 2x M.2 slot supporting NVMe SSDs.
Both models feature a range of connectivity options to suit modern demands. The N2 comes with a 10 Gigabit Ethernet controller and an array of USB ports, including USB Type-C and USB3.2 Gen 2, making it ideal for high-speed networking and peripheral connectivity. The S1, while slightly less advanced with 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, compensates with its intuitive design and extensive storage expandability. These devices are encased in durable materials, combining lightweight plastic with metal accents for a balance of portability and durability, appealing to tech enthusiasts and professionals alike. The Intel Alder Lake-N N97 and N100 CPUs, respectively, are designed to deliver reliable performance for modern computing tasks. The N97 in the S1 offers a quad-core architecture with energy-efficient processing, making it ideal for workloads that prioritize power efficiency, such as home servers or light virtualization. Meanwhile, the N100 in the N2 takes a step up with slightly higher clock speeds and improved single-core performance, making it well-suited for more demanding applications like content creation or multitasking. Both processors leverage Intel’s hybrid architecture, balancing performance cores and efficient cores to optimize workload distribution, ensuring smooth operation under varying conditions. This makes the systems highly adaptable for both casual and professional users.
Lincstation N2 vs N1 NAS – Much Better?
The Lincstation N1 was (and still is!) a sleek, all-SSD NAS device optimized for home and small office environments. Powered by an Intel Celeron N5105 quad-core CPU, it offers strong performance for multitasking, with a base frequency of 2.0 GHz and a burst frequency of 2.9 GHz. The N1 includes 16GB of soldered DDR4 RAM, making it well-suited for tasks such as media streaming, data backup, and personal cloud storage. Its storage capabilities stand out with four M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD slots and two 2.5-inch SATA SSD slots, enabling up to 48TB of total storage capacity. Connectivity options include a 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet port, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a USB Type-C port, HDMI 2.0, and a 3.5mm audio jack. Additionally, the N1 features Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 for virtual machine-based wireless applications. This fanless, compact NAS offers silent operation and efficient performance, making it ideal for users who prioritize storage versatility and quiet environments.
The Lincstation N2, while featuring upgraded internal hardware, maintains the same compact chassis, fanless cooling system, and wireless capabilities as the N1. It is powered by the Intel Alder Lake-N N100 CPU, which delivers higher clock speeds and improved processing performance compared to the N5105 in the N1. Like its predecessor, the N2 includes 16GB of memory, though it uses faster onboard LPDDR5 RAM for enhanced multitasking capabilities. Storage options remain the same, with four M.2 NVMe 2280 SSD slots and two 2.5-inch SATA SSD slots, supporting up to 48TB total capacity. Connectivity is also consistent with the N1, featuring two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports, a USB Type-C port, HDMI 2.0, and a 3.5mm audio jack, alongside Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. The key differentiator for the N2 is its 10 Gigabit Ethernet port, which significantly enhances networking performance for users with demanding data transfer needs.

| Launch | Crowdfunding initially, retail in Spring 2024 ($349–$399) | Details pending: launch price and crowdfunding unconfirmed |
Interestingly, the Lincstation N1 first gained attention through a crowdfunding campaign, where its combination of features and value attracted early adopters. Following the success of this campaign, the N1 became available through traditional retail channels in Spring 2024, priced at $349–$399, depending on configuration. In contrast, details about the Lincstation N2 remain uncertain, with no confirmed launch price or retail availability. It is also unclear whether the N2 will follow the crowdfunding route for its initial launch or opt directly for retail distribution. This uncertainty adds to the anticipation surrounding the N2, with many eager to see how it will complement the existing N1. Realistically the differences can be boiled down to an improved CPU, higher performing RAM and a single 10G NIC as opposed to 2x 2.5GbE. On that latter point, as good as 1000MB/s+ of network bandwidth sounds, keep in mind that this means only a single network connection and a lack of any failover or physical NIC assignment support (unless you opt for an UnRAID supported USB-to-2.5/5GbE adapter. There is no arguing that the new N2 will allow you to enjoy more of the performance potential of the 4X M.2 and 2x SATA SSD – but still only 1GB per second max, and as the CPU is a 9 lane processor, that means that most likely those M.2 are going to either be Gen 3×1 or (hopefully) Gen 3×2 – but my gut tells me the former!
When will the Lincstation N2 and S1 NAS Be Released and Price?
Pricing is still yet to be confirmed for either device, however it is looking likely that both solutions will be landing on Kickstarter (or similar crowdfunding sites) in Q1 2025 (i.e Jan-March), but this is still MASSIVELY TBC. The included UnRAID software licence that these systems will arrive with will be included in the kit price (just like the N1) and although using 3rd party OS (such as TrueNAS and OMV) are supported, the fact that the N2 6 Bay SSD NAS and 4+2 Bay S1 NAS arriving with fully licensed and officially partnered UnRAID OS onboard is HUGELY appealing and definitely raises the stakes when comparing them to other mini PC manufacturers that are trying to enter the NAS space, but are reliant on more technically minded users installing their OS of choice!
Bottom line, the LIncstation N2 and S1 are definitely,. definitely NAS to keep an eye on. I will always highlight that any NAS that arrives on the scene via crowdfunding needs to be looked at with that clear distinction between Crowdfunding and traditional retail – as backing ‘an idea’ is not the same as buying a product! Nevertheless, this is a brand with a successful campaign under it’s belt and a clear willingness to expand further into this market space!

Question: I have a SFF MS-01 its a beast it does everything i need it to do .. and its small why don’t these NAS manufactures build a NAS that have a CPU and specs with some horsepower I think I paid like 600.00 for the MS-01 .But I have to have an external drive or connect via network for my media.. The only NAS im aware of with some comparable specs is Qnap and its like 3500.00 thats NUTS.. Thanks for your time

I’m sooo tempted to get this.
– great form factor
– 4 x m.2s with easy access
– 2 x 2.5″
I’ve considered a variety of NAS-es.
This would be my “portable NAS” — small enough I’d bring it with me if I move to another country, as I am currently a tax-optimizing nomad of sorts.
Based on the NAS units I’ve looked at recently, this one may be my favorite in terms of form factor.
And the specs are acceptable.

For those of us who have extensive 1Gbps networks and hosts that would be difficult to upgrade to anything faster than 1Gbps and not hosting a massive amount of people 1Gbps is fine. I rarely copy TB’s of data across hosts so can live with it. Really interesting product, especially for a mobile lab which is what I’m looking at it for.

Hello. I have used NAS systems since some years ago for my modest home but efficient network. I was somewhat dissappointed with the reliability of the products I’ve used so far and decided that I don’t want anymore to deal with HDD. I have decided to avoid mechanical parts as much as possible. Because of this I am exploring buying a SSD NAS system. Brands : Qnap, Asustor and LincPlus. The latter seriously brought my attention because price is very good even with some limitations such as the 2.5 G Ethernet but I can live with that within my enviroment for a NAS. I live in South America and I buy these toys when travelling to US so the risk of testing that all is working fine and that the parts I have bought are all compatible lives with me always. Anycase, I am really exited to buy the LincPlus but I’ve got the feeling that the Manufacturer does not invest too much time to be strictly tidy to describe and write which SSDs are compatible with this NAS or it is so well basically conceived that any SSD fulfilling the “M.2 NMVe 2280 SSD or 2.5 inch SSD with thickness thinner than 9.5 mm” as they explain in Amazon FAQ is the sole formula an User must adhere to buy the drives ?? Any unbinding hint, help, comments to make ? Many thanks.

I recently ordered one from their site, and they just did a “refund confirmation” email that showed X cents refunded, and then they emailed me asking how much was refunded to “confirm the order.” Weirdly nothing was refunded to my actual card, I only got an email, so at best this checks whether I have access to my email… Seems somewhat concerning and scam-y, hoping it’s just a weird ordering system…

*Apparently, Unraid’s disk and thus network performance should be much slower than that of Qnap and Synology,* for example, because Unraid does not work with the usual RAID, but has invented something itself. *Is that true?*

My IndieGoGo Lincstation N1 turned up at lunchtime today. I added a couple of m.2 SSDs and got the included unraid up and running in no time. I even got Jupyter Notebooks running as App. Thanks so much for the heads up on this. BTW the SSD temp warning level had been tweaked upwards.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Not sure if this has been mentioned, but a normal array in Unraid DOES NOT SUPPORT TRIM. Therefore, full flash arrays are not recommended. If you’re going to use full flash with Unraid, you’ll need to use ZFS to get TRIM support.

Hello, recently I suffered data loss from an external drive (mostly because of my stupidity :), I am desperate for a portable NAS solution! I stumbled across your video, and I am excited about the Lincplus. Do you think it will be reliable, keeping in mind that it is just coming out on the market and there is no user’s data and which drives would you recommend buying for such a system? Thank you in advance, Milena

its good to see a NAS aiming for people who want all-flash because it’s quiet & small, and not because we need a blistering fast dual-socket 40gbe monstrosity, tbh, 10gbe would be nice, but then I’d have to pay for it, and maybe hear them cooling it
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Just noticed that the breakout animation show on the Indiegogo product pages shows a fan running inside the case! So it the NAS using an active cooling solution and thus isn’t really a completely silent or passively cooled device?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I don’t understand how this product is launching on late 2023 and not using an N305 CPU instead. It seems like poor product management on their end. This is a system that will be pretty expensive to equip, being all SSD storage based. I don’t think the potential buyers would have been turned away by the higher price needed to accommodate a more current CPU with still low TDP
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Could you maybe measure the idle power consumption without any drives installed to get a baseline for the power draw?
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I want a nas that sips power and is silent. Nearly all clients use WiFi, so 2.5gb Ethernet is sufficient for my requirements. People obsess about how fast the nvme drives can be pushed, or how fast the networking is, but that’s not important to me. It’s faster than my current hdd based storage, lower power and SILENT.

it looks amazing but in my opinion without a 10gig port its essentially worthless

thoughts on putting 2.5 hardrive in the drive area to give large storage something like a hot and cold storage system
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I’d love for someone to work with AMD or Intel and bring either low power embedded Epyc or a D Xeon to this market. U.2 in smaller capacities can be almost as inexpensive as M.2 and even a mixed use gen3 drive cost/performance will blow the pants off consumer gen 4 M.2 for this kind of use in the long term (and there’s always the option of buying used).
I’d rather pay more and get a device with more PCIE lanes, U.2 and 10gb support (not to mention hot swap and higher RAM capacity support) than something like this or the Flashstor. Something like the QNAP TS-h1290FX but with say 8x bays and 1 1gb or 2.5g port and 2 SFP+ (or let the user add in a 10/25gb NIC) for maybe $1000ish. Hell, if they could make it around the price of a used R730XD even better.
Worst case if Synology can get away with charging ~$2k for their 8 bay devices I guess the price could go that high but give me modern hardware with U.2 support.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
When I think of “6-bay”, I think of all six bays supporting the SAME architecture, and allowing a RAID array that includes ALL 6 drives. The real gain here is meaningful – drive space lost to parity is 1/4 in this device, and is only 1/6 in the Flashstor. If you’re using 4TB NVME, that means you lose 4 out of 16, leaving 12 (10.5 in the real world) vs 4 out of 24, leaving 20 (18.7 or so, in truth). The usable capacity of the Linkstor is, in this scenario, less than 2/3 that of the Flashstor 6. Add to this the UnRAID SSD limitations, and I have to see the result as an interesting, but limited solution for those with rather modest needs and budgets.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I’ve been looking for a flash NAS for so long
Every time, they skip 10gig and every time I move on.
There is zero justification for not having 10gig on flash storage.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Is the 2.5″ drive bays 15mm in height to allow drives larger than 2TB? There’s no mention that I can see and even Lincplus mentions 20TB maximum which would be 4x4TB NVME+2x2TB SATA.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
I think these companies need to sell more kind of barebones kits that are more modular. Imagine if you could pair the guts of this thing that came with all M.2 -> 5 x SATA III ports. Well now I have a tiny board SBC with 22 freaking SATA ports. They could even sell a chassis for this configuration that had the power hookups ready for an SFX/ATX PSU. I’m personally already running used 2TB Micron 1100 SATA SSD for my production NAS because I was getting them for less than $25/TB this year. M.2 price per TB is still much higher than SATA, and I’d reckon most people would take the bandwidth hit to double storage capacity and halve (or more) price per TB.
That’s just my thoughts on this, great vid as always!
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Agree that video editors (especially one’s using Apple Macs with limited data storage) probably want the 10gbs ethernet, so they might want to looks either the Asustor Flash 12 or the Black Magic NAS products, but at the DataKind event or even most coffee shop collaborations just use WiFi or vanilla ethernet cable.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Sata at this point? M.2 is the only standard you should consider.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Great review, as always! I’m surprised they’re launching a NAS in late 2023 with a single ethernet port. If I had to pick I would take a second 2.5g over a single 10g. That enables failover, LACP, multisession SMB, etc. You can add a second 2.5g port via usb but that is notoriously unreliable. This one’s a “no, thanks” for me.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Wow! I just got back from the Orlando Data Kind Data Dive and the LincStation would have been ideal.
Normally, I would consider the built in WiFi a security risk. But, for a low security collaborative situation it is ideal. We were working with Census Tract level data and mapping applications in individual notebooks Github and Google Cloud. But with the LincStation we could have just popped that on the table, bring up a PostGIS (PostgreSQL with spatial) Docker Container and have everyone at each table (each table had a different project / client) connect through Wi-Fi (no need for an inventory of ethernet cables) and when we were done we could have donated the complete device and software to the not-for-profit without having to worry about cloud subscription fees! Another use case would be students notebook computers collaborating in coffee shop. It would be just one small box amount the notebooks and easily carried in a backpack. Not only could computer science students get hands on experience with RAID, but a wide range of students could get experience with collaborative / multi-user software that they could take with them after graduation when they no longer have access to the college campus network. On the downside, I saw some security red flags that would make me cautious about using this in an enterprise environment: one is the built in Wi-Fi and a second is a “root” user named root. This device would clearly need a security checklist for installing in a secure location.

It would be nice if this channel only reviewed actual available devices. Promoting Kickstarter and Indiegogo launches only helps companies like Storaxa take the money and run
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Yea, the price is good here, but the ports are a big letdown, 10G should be standard if you are running NVME SSD, and preferably more than one if it has a more expensive version.
Don’t blame all of this on devs, they use intel low-end CPU, n5105, n6005 or n100 are all great for low-power NAS, but their PCIE lanes are so few you really can’t do much about it.
REPLY ON YOUTUBE
Great review. Has Unraid changed their recommendation of not using SSDs for the Unraid Array (disk or parity drives) due to no SSD trim support? I understood that without this, the SSD performance will degrade faster than it should.

Great to see such an innovative product. Good for us consumers ( especially those still looking to get a NAS )! Lack of another ethernet port is not so important for home use – if you really need anything more you are into high performance territory anyway and this is n’t for you. Just use another USB-Ether adapter if absolutely required.

*Update* , Lincplus reached out to respond to my comments on choosing Indiegogo for their crowdfunding: “The reason why we chose the Indiegogo platform is that Indiegogo has a customer support team in our country while Kickstarter does not. We have always invested a lot of energy in R&D and production, but marketing is our weakness. This is our first time using crowdfunding for promotion and producing a product, so a local support team is very helpful to us. We will offer the same after-sale service to customers who buy from Indiegogo as Amazon customers, and we will offer the best price on Indiegogo. We will also collect feedback from the first batch of customers.”
