If posting NAS deals was a crime, I’d be serving 3 consecutive drives! This time it’s GMKtec, serving up a NAS with 4 M.2 NVMe SSD slots and powered by an Intel N150 (4 cores, 4 threads). Unlike the X86-P5 4 Bay SSD NAS I posted earlier, this one isn't barebones and GMKtec has thrown in 64GB of eMMC storage with Windows/Linux pre-installed, so you can save all 4 SSD slots for storage instead of the OS. They've also packed in 12GB of soldered LPDDR5 RAM, so it's RAIDy to roll right out of the box.

Featuring 4 M.2 NVMe PCIe 3.0 x2 slots with official support for up to 4TB in each slot, 64GB eMMC storage with Windows/Linux dual boot, 12GB LPDDR5 RAM (soldered), 2x HDMI 2.0 4K@60Hz, 1x USB-C full feature with PD, Data & DisplayPort output, 1x USB-C PD, 3x USB 3.2 10Gbps ports and 3.5mm audio.

For connectivity it's using two Intel i226-V 2.5GbE network ports making it more suitable for TrueNAS and similar OS', as well as WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2. For cooling there is a CPU fan and two smaller fans for the SSDs. I recommend installing heatsinks on each SSD as they're not included.

Unfortunately due to CPU constraints the M.2 NVMe slots are limited to 2 PCIe lane (x2) instead of 4 PCIe lanes (x4), however this is still faster than having mechanical SATA HDDs.

    Any chance they can do anything with the K8 Plus?

    • cloudie9 on 03/03/2025 - 23:10

      Yeah keen on that…

      • FoxJump on 03/03/2025 - 23:45

        it seems to have vanished off amazon. glad i got one on the last sale. It's happily running many VMs now.

    You did not hear it from me, but the NAS police and building a case against you

    • Clear on 03/03/2025 - 23:13

      The NAS police can try but my RAID array of legal defences is mirrored and ready to go.

      • easternculture on 03/03/2025 - 23:18

        They have all their SSD slots loaded and ready to RAID your data centre.

        The word is they had a CHAT with their boss GPT and he gave them the ok in an online response to this threat.

        • Clear on 03/03/2025 - 23:22

          They needed ChatGPT’s approval to RAID me? I’m over here asking ChatGPT to draft my ransom note in advance.

      They don't need a warrant, their just going to RAID you

    • buffalo bill on 04/03/2025 - 00:20

      snap!

    Okay why do these just keep getting more and more tempting!!! Thanks @Clear

    With memory, some eMMC, faster, not much more, and faster lanes?? I should sleep this off

      I'm hoping for AMD & 4 X M.2.

  • frowny on 03/03/2025 - 23:44

    Just out of curiosity, what's the usecase for NVME NASes? The $/TB would be extremely high right, and these machines would be underpowered for home server duties?

    • FoxJump on 03/03/2025 - 23:46

      not everyone needs 10x 22TB disks.
      i have 4x 8tb sata ssds, plenty to spare to future years. All courtesy to prime amazon sales a few years back when they were $600 each.

        No I definitely understand that, but spending $2400 on fast storage on a $300 machine seems like a weird balance.

        For 32GB of storage would it make more sense for 2x16 hard drives or 3x in RAID, with one larger capacity SSD for things you need quickly?

        Just trying to understand the user who is looking for a $300 NAS to pair with fast, expensive storage.

          As someone whos been in IT for 20 years now, I don't get it either.

          4 NVME drives, even 1 of them can cap out a 2.5Gbps link and if you aggregate, you'll get 5Gbps (theoretical) down to your single 1/2.5Gbps PC/Laptop - unless you have 10Gbps links on your PC/Laptop.

          NVME Drives - even Gen 3- can push an easy 5k MB/s read/write. NVME NAS bays really don't make sense to me either heh. SSD NAS, sure.

          • FoxJump on 04/03/2025 - 00:23

            @okwhy: pretty sure the g9 slots are pcie 3x1. so they are slow.
            but yes, if it's that slow, might aswell go with a stack of 2.5" sata 4tb ssd which are cheaper and the aggregate speed is fast enough

            for me i picked the qvo ssds for reliability, less noise, energy savings and I'm mainly worm-ing it. i also use for nvr of 6 cameras
