Identity
Compute and memory
Exact LincStation E1 compute and memory records, with unknowns preserved.
| Processor | Rockchip RK3568 · 4-core · up to 2.0GHz[1] |
|---|---|
| Factory memory | 4GB RAM[1] Factory memory is kept separate from maximum supported capacity and from seller-installed upgrades. |
| Physical CPU cores | 4[7] |
| Factory memory | 4 GB[7] |
| Host memory ECC | No. 4GB DDR4 is soldered; no host-path ECC is published.[1][9] |
| Official memory upgrade path | No. 4GB DDR4 is embedded/soldered; IT Pro and architecture PDF both say not upgradeable (max 4GB).[2][9][3] |
| Official memory limit | 4GB (soldered). Manual and IT Pro: max 4GB.[2][9] |
Storage and expansion
Exact LincStation E1 storage and expansion records, with unknowns preserved.
| Cataloged drive-bay count | 2[1] M.2 positions are listed separately and are not silently added to SATA bay count. |
|---|---|
| Supported drive layout | 2 × 2.5/3.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD + 2 × M.2 2280 NVMe SSD[1] |
| Replaceable storage drives | Yes for SATA (tool-free trays under magnetic cover) and M.2 (base cover). Manual: power off before drive work; IT Pro described hot-plug SATA carriers on its sample.[2][9] Hot-swap while powered is not an official instruction in the English user manual. |
| M.2 expansion | Yes[7] |
| Official external drive enclosure expansion | USB ports are specified for external backup drives; no official multi-bay expansion chassis is documented.[3] |
| Physical M.2 slots | 2[7] |
| SATA without a mandatory model whitelist | Opened official pages specify 2.5/3.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD without a mandatory MPN whitelist. Compatibility is still buyer-confirmed.[1][2] |
| M.2 without a mandatory model whitelist | Opened official pages specify M.2 2280 NVMe without a mandatory MPN whitelist. Architecture PDF: PCIe 3.0 x1.[1][3] |
| System flash | 64GB eMMC with LincOS; isolated from user data bays.[1][3] |
| USB ports | Official US PDP: 1 × USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A + 2 × USB 2.0 Type-A. Architecture PDF and IT Pro instead call the front port USB 3.2 Gen 2 / 10 Gbps.[1][3][9] Keep both official wordings; do not pick a single USB generation. |
Network
Exact LincStation E1 network records, with unknowns preserved.
| Installed Ethernet | 1 × 2.5GbE[1] Multiple ports do not guarantee one client the sum of their link rates. |
|---|---|
| Fastest installed single network port | 2.5 Gbps[7] |
| Official network upgrade path | No. Single onboard RJ45; no PCIe slot.[1][2] |
| Video output | HDMI present. Official US PDP: HDMI 2.0. Architecture PDF, user-manual table and IT Pro: HDMI 2.1 / 4K 60 Hz.[1][3][2][9] |
| Wireless | Wi-Fi 5 (2.4/5 GHz) and Bluetooth 5.0 on the official US PDP.[1] |
| Ethernet identity conflict | US PDP, architecture PDF and IT Pro production note: 2.5GbE. English user-manual hardware table still prints 1 Gigabit RJ-45. Pre-launch TechRadar/AppleInsider samples were 1GbE.[1][2][3][9][10] Treat live US 2.5GbE copy as the selling claim; keep the 1GbE manual/pre-launch record. |
Software and data protection
Exact LincStation E1 software and data protection records, with unknowns preserved.
| Factory operating system | LincOS on 64GB eMMC (exact-model official store + architecture PDF)[1][3] LincOS is Android-kernel NAS software, not Unraid. |
|---|---|
| RAID support | Official FAQ and architecture PDF list Single Disk/JBOD and RAID 0/1/5/6/10 on Btrfs; supported mixed SATA/NVMe layouts need confirmation.[1][3] Official FAQ lists RAID 0/1/5/6/10 on Btrfs. IT Pro only built two-disk RAID 1 pools (HDD pair and NVMe pair). A listed RAID level is not proof every layout works across mixed SATA+NVMe bays. |
| Backup through the graphical interface | LincOS Backup Disk (PC/mobile folders to a NAS space, file-type filters, Wi-Fi-only option) and Sync Disk; IT Pro exercised both classes of tools.[3][9] |
| Backup to an independent target | Architecture PDF lists USB expansion for external backup drives; Backup Disk destinations are appliance storage spaces in the IT Pro write-up. Independent third-party cloud backup is not established.[3][9] |
| Documented restore path | Recycle Bin and admin backup of Secure Space encryption passwords are documented; a full disaster-recovery restore cookbook for the exact LincOS build is not in the opened English user manual.[3][2] |
| Scheduled backup | IT Pro: Backup Disk and Sync Disk jobs can run automatically or on demand.[9] |
| Restore from snapshots | Opened LincOS architecture PDF and E1 FAQ do not document block-level snapshots. Unraid snapshot language on sibling models does not apply.[3][1] |
| Version retention | Not established for LincOS beyond Recycle Bin / Sync Disk behaviour.[3] |
| Immutable protection | Not established. Secure Space is encrypted private folders, not WORM/immutable snapshots.[3][9] |
| Remote snapshot replication | Not established. LincAccess remote access is a client feature, not snapshot replication.[4] |
| Native endpoint restore | Backup Disk copies selected PC/mobile files to the NAS. Native bare-metal endpoint image restore is not documented.[9][3] |
| Official system update path | Architecture PDF: System Upgrade for background firmware/OS updates; support site lists LincOS/app downloads dated 20 Aug 2026 (client 2.3.10+106).[3][5] |
| System status interface | Yes: LincStation Windows/iOS/Android clients, HDMI desktop mode, and a web UI. Support FAQ: macOS has no client; Web UI is LAN-only without LincAccess remote.[1][4] |
| System log interface | Not located as a named log UI in the opened English user manual or architecture PDF.[2] |
Warranty and support
Exact LincStation E1 warranty and support records, with unknowns preserved.
| Standard warranty | Conflict: LincPlus choose-NAS page says all LincPlus NAS include a 2-year warranty; IT Pro specification table lists 1-year hardware; the English E1 user manual after-sales chapter does not state a duration.[6][9][2] Do not treat either figure as settled without the purchase-channel policy that ships with the unit. |
|---|
Physical, power and acoustics
Exact LincStation E1 physical, power and acoustics records, with unknowns preserved.
| Dimensions | Official US PDP: 5.51"D × 3.46"W × 8.60"H. English user manual table: 218.5 × 88 × 140 mm (H × W × D).[1][2] |
|---|---|
| Weight | 907 g (official US PDP and English user manual).[1][2] |
| Power supply and consumption | Official US PDP charger 12 V / 5 A DC. Architecture PDF: DC 12 V, typical consumption below 15 W excluding HDDs. IT Pro lists a 60 W external PSU.[1][3][9] Typical <15 W excludes HDDs and is not a lab measurement. |
| Acoustic conditions | Architecture PDF: Auto / Silent / Full Speed fan modes. No official dBA. Do not infer dBA from recordings.[3] |
