My second zimaboard and not the last one
I find this device incredibly useful for IT, HomeLabs or any other application! You could use it for virtual machines, Firewall, VPN server and even for transcoding video server.
The best is the form factor, the dual Ethernet NIC, PCI-e and native SATA connections.
Super recommended for the price
