"Time to take back some control over my data. Zimaboard2 16gb with RAID0 8tb WD's for slow storage and RAID0 Nvme's for fast storage."

"I received my Zimaboard 2 and started it with 2 6TB HDDs in Raid 1 setup. Everything works fine. Built quality is great. Zimastore people are super friendly in shipping process and were really helpful for providing necessary documentations for import clearance process. Now it's time for experiments."

"Mine's running a Plex server 24/7 using my NAS as an external drive. It’s proved extremely reliable and capable of handling multiple feeds online and 4k in the house. Brilliant little low energy consuming workhorse."

"Just finished my ZimaBoard 2 build. Dual HDDs on a custom tray with a fan powered by a USB-to-12V adapter. Runs cool and quiet."

"I don't have a zimaboard, but I do have a Zimablade with the little hard drive caddy. Works great as a PBS host for my various ProxMox projects. But honestly, I bought it cause it was cute. "Look at the little cassette tape with its cute little hard drive caddy, it thinks it's a big computer!" is something I've absolutely not said repeatedly as a 36yo dude. Sometimes I even think about plugging something into the pcie slot before deciding not to. I love it. My reasoning for the Zimaboard 2 would be the same - it looks cool."

"Mine is running Plex 24/7 with the external GPU (RTX 3050) runs like a dream. Also we PiHole running and WireGuard. All runs great."

"Mine came in a few days ago. Spent the weekend playing around with it and moving data from my old Raspberry Pi 3 over to the ZimaBoard 2. I plugged in a PCIE card with a single M.2 + 1TB SSD. On my RPI3 I had Docker with Portainer, Pihole, ArchiSteamFarm, SearXNG, and Minecraft. My nephew had asked me to run the Minecraft server for him and his friends, but the RPI3 struggled. I installed Proxmox and setup docker under a CT. This was my first experience setting up Proxmox and it's damn cool. My nephew is happy with the Minecraft server performance."

"Hace como un mes y medio me enviaron desde la lejana China un mini servidor de bolsillo para casa que consume como una bombilla. Se llama ZimaBoard 2 y os cuento qué se puede hacer con él en este hilo"

"Got the Zimaboard 2 all set up and added to my rack... this was a great addition. Currently running Tailscale, Pi-Hole, Vaultwarden, n8n, and a few other tools/services."

"Finally had time to set up my ZimaBoard 2 this week. Installed ZimaOS, added a 4TB HDD and a cheap NVMe card on PCIe. Super stable so far, temps are low, UI is clean, SMB transfers are fast, and Docker apps install in seconds. Honestly shocked that something this small runs smoother than my old NUC."
