Identity
Compute and memory
Exact LincStation N1 compute and memory records, with unknowns preserved.
| Processor | Intel quad-core; independent hardware review and Unraid partner page identify Celeron N5105 (up to 2.9 GHz, 10 W TDP). Official store marketing still says only Intel quad-core.[1][10][3] |
|---|---|
| Factory memory | 16GB RAM[1] Factory memory is kept separate from maximum supported capacity and from seller-installed upgrades. |
| Physical CPU cores | 4[8] |
| Factory memory | 16 GB[8] |
| Host memory ECC | No host-path ECC support is documented. Liliputing identifies soldered 16GB LPDDR4; soldering alone does not establish ECC capability.[10][1] |
| Official memory upgrade path | No. Liliputing: 16GB LPDDR4 soldered. Store page does not offer a DIMM upgrade.[10][1] |
| Official memory limit | 16GB factory, soldered. No higher official SKU.[1][10] |
Storage and expansion
Exact LincStation N1 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-inch SATA HDD/SSD (HDD height under 9.5 mm) + 4 × M.2 NVMe SSD[1] |
| Replaceable storage drives | Yes. Manual: 2.5-inch SATA under 9.5 mm; tool-free M.2 2280. Power off before swapping; Unraid array can later add disks (hot expansion of the array, not necessarily electrically hot-swap).[2] |
| M.2 expansion | Yes[8] |
| Official external drive enclosure expansion | USB 3.2 ports exist; no official JBOD chassis. Unraid Starter is limited to six attached storage devices.[1][10] |
| Physical M.2 slots | 4[8] |
| SATA without a mandatory model whitelist | 2.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD, height under 9.5 mm (manual). Liliputing additionally reports 7 mm trays on its sample — keep both.[2][10] |
| M.2 without a mandatory model whitelist | Four M.2 2280 NVMe; Liliputing: PCIe 3.0 x1 effective (~985 MB/s theoretical).[1][10] |
| System flash | 128GB eMMC onboard plus Unraid USB (Alcor F4 ARV21X in Liliputing). eMMC is unused by stock Unraid.[1][10] |
| USB ports | Official/manual: USB-C front + USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A rear. Liliputing: front USB-C is 5 Gbit/s (CDM ~460/436 MB/s); rear 10 Gbit/s (~1050/960 MB/s).[2][10] |
| Video output | HDMI 2.0 on the rear (Liliputing / official connectivity copy).[1][10] |
Network
Exact LincStation N1 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[8] |
| Official network upgrade path | No. Single 2.5GbE (Intel I225-V in Liliputing). Unraid build tested had no Wi-Fi.[1][10] |
Software and data protection
Exact LincStation N1 software and data protection records, with unknowns preserved.
| Factory operating system | Unraid Starter preinstalled on an internal USB; 30-day trial then scratch-card Starter key with 12 months of updates, then current version remains usable.[1][2] |
|---|---|
| RAID support | Official FAQ: Unraid parity array plus cache-pool RAID 0/1/10/5/6. Manual: up to 6 devices, 1–2 parity disks, hot expansion after power-off install.[1][2] |
| Backup through the graphical interface | Unraid web UI plus Community Apps; Liliputing demonstrated shares, Docker and a user rsync/LVM backup. Not a LincPlus-branded backup suite.[1][10] |
| Backup to an independent target | Possible via Unraid shares, USB disks and user scripts (Liliputing rsync to unassigned SATA SSDs). Not a turnkey appliance backup product.[10] |
| Documented restore path | Unraid array/parity rebuild and USB-key recovery are documented in Unraid docs linked from the N1 manual. LincPlus also publishes Unraid custom-feature recovery and TPM/GUID migration PDFs.[2][6][7] |
| Scheduled backup | Not a LincPlus GUI feature. Liliputing used cron/rsync. Unraid plugins can schedule jobs depending on the installed apps.[10] |
| Restore from snapshots | Unraid/ZFS snapshot behaviour depends on the pool type the buyer creates. Factory Unraid 6.12.10 in Liliputing used XFS array + btrfs Docker, not a documented snapshot appliance.[10] |
| Version retention | Not a LincPlus-documented NAS feature; Unraid app choice dependent.[1] |
| Immutable protection | Not documented as a LincPlus factory feature.[1] |
| Remote snapshot replication | Not documented as factory. Unraid replication would be user-configured.[1] |
| Native endpoint restore | Not a LincPlus client image-restore product. Unraid is a server OS.[2] |
| Official system update path | Unraid Tools → Update OS. Starter key includes 12 months of OS updates; later versions are paid. LincPlus also posts BIOS/Unraid recovery packages.[1][2][5] |
| System status interface | Unraid dashboard (tower.local). Liliputing also documented a port-50000 LED page.[2][10] |
| System log interface | Unraid includes syslog/dashboard health. Exact menu not restated in the LincPlus N1 manual beyond pointing at Unraid docs.[2] |
Warranty and support
Exact LincStation N1 warranty and support records, with unknowns preserved.
| Standard warranty | Conflict: N1 English manual warrants 12 months from purchase for domestic use; choose-NAS marketing and some marketplace titles say 2 years. Catalog 2-year value is not independent of that conflict.[2][4] |
|---|
Physical, power and acoustics
Exact LincStation N1 physical, power and acoustics records, with unknowns preserved.
| Dimensions | Liliputing measured 210 × 152 × 40 mm. Official N1 PDP in this pass did not reprint a spec table.[10] |
|---|---|
| Weight | Current official PDP marketing: 1.76 lb (about 0.80 kg). Do not use Shopify shipping weight as chassis weight.[1] |
| Power supply and consumption | Liliputing: 60 W 12 V/5 A brick. Unraid idle 11.3 W; dashboard 11.2–17.3 W avg 14 W; shutdown 1.8 W. Not an official rating.[10] |
| Acoustic conditions | Liliputing could not hear the 40 mm fan without putting an ear to the chassis. No dBA.[10] |
