Frequently Asked Questions
-
Choose Standard for personal cloud, media libraries, backups, and lighter self-hosting or editing workflows. Choose Pro if you want more CPU headroom, 10GbE, and faster SSD expansion for heavier multitasking or more demanding active projects. Choose Creator Pack if you need the most powerful setup, with 64GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and dedicated GPU support for more advanced creative or AI workflows.
-
Yes. ZimaCube 2 is built on standard hardware and follows a zero-lock-in approach. It comes with ZimaOS Plus preinstalled, while remaining compatible with a wide range of other operating systems and self-hosting setups. This openness is also a core part of the official product positioning.
-
ZimaCube 2 uses a redesigned thermal system built for cooler and quieter operation. According to the recent launch materials, full-load CPU temperatures are reduced by nearly 30%, while system noise stays around 30 dB.
-
For many everyday workflows, especially lighter or single-stream 4K work, Standard is generally a solid fit. If your setup involves heavier multitasking, faster shared storage needs, or more demanding editing workloads, Pro offers more headroom with a stronger processor, 10GbE, and faster SSD expansion.
-
The 7th bay is designed for high-speed SSD expansion. On Standard, the shared bandwidth is around 800 MB/s, which is generally suitable for lighter active workflows and fast-access storage. On Pro and Creator Pack, the 7th bay reaches around 3200 MB/s, making it better suited for more demanding editing, scratch storage, and performance-focused workflows.
-
Yes. A practical setup is to use faster SSD storage for active projects, while keeping larger-capacity drives for long-term storage and archive. This matches creative workflows well and makes ZimaCube 2 easier to use as both active workspace and long-term storage.
-
ZimaCube 2 is compatible with most mainstream hard drive brands and capacities on the market. You can check the full compatibility list here: Compatibility List
-
Inside the chassis, ZimaCube 2 supports low-profile GPUs for SFF single-slot or dual-slot installation, with TDP below 75W. For larger or higher-power graphics cards, we recommend using an external GPU dock.
