Zima Member Day isn't just a discount—it's our way of celebrating the builders, tinkerers, and creators in our community. Whether you’re backing ZimaBoard 2, trying out ZimaOS, or just exploring your first NAS setup, this day is about you.
ZimaBoard 2: Designed for the Real World
Fresh off its successful Kickstarter campaign, ZimaBoard 2 is now available for pre-order. And while it won't ship until August, early impressions are already in from creators and reviewers.
CNX-Software and It's FOSS both praised its compact, fanless design and quiet operation—ideal for home setups. They tested features like:
-
✅ Intel® N150 processor for solid multitasking
-
✅ Up to 16GB DDR5 RAM for smooth virtual machines
-
✅ Dual 2.5GbE ports for fast networking
-
✅ PCIe 3.0 x4 for NVMe, NICs, or even GPU
-
✅ 2x SATA 3.0 for native drive expansion
-
✅ Smart eco-packaging that turns into a desktop stand
It's not just about specs—it's about giving you the power of a full home server without the bulk or noise.

Real-Life Use Cases
While most ZimaBoard 2 users will get their devices in August, early testers have already shown what's possible:
-
Media Enthusiasts are streaming 4K video using Jellyfin with no lag, thanks to Intel QSV acceleration
-
Developers are using Docker and VMs to host apps and dev environments
-
Photographers are organizing huge RAW libraries on silent, RAID-backed storage
-
Homelab builders are deploying firewalls, smart home hubs, and even AI tools—all on ZimaOS
