Identity
Compute and memory
Exact LincStation S1 compute and memory records, with unknowns preserved.
| Processor | Intel N97 · 4-core · up to 3.6GHz[1] |
|---|---|
| Factory memory | 8GB RAM[1] Factory memory is kept separate from maximum supported capacity and from seller-installed upgrades. |
| Physical CPU cores | 4[7] |
| Factory memory | 8 GB[7] |
| Host memory ECC | No. Single DDR5 SODIMM, 8GB 4800 MHz factory (manual). N97 is one-channel.[2][10] |
| Official memory upgrade path | Yes. DDR5 SODIMM, 8GB factory, replaceable (US PDP and manual). Official maximum capacity is not printed on opened pages. AppleInsider recommends 16GB for Docker/VMs without stating a tested ceiling.[1][2][9] |
| Official memory limit | Unknown official ceiling. Factory 8GB SODIMM; N97 is single-channel. Do not treat Amazon title “up to 16GB” as verified — that PDP was not successfully opened.[2] Evidence boundary: the opened exact-model official page did not publish or establish this field. The citation records the checked evidence boundary, not a confirmed feature. LincStation S1: evidence is still needed for the official memory ceiling for the exact NAS model; the CPU's theoretical limit is not a substitute. This remains unknown, not a confirmed no. |
Storage and expansion
Exact LincStation S1 storage and expansion records, with unknowns preserved.
| Cataloged drive-bay count | 4[1] M.2 positions are listed separately and are not silently added to SATA bay count. |
|---|---|
| Supported drive layout | 4 × 2.5/3.5-inch SATA HDD/SSD + 2 × M.2 2280 NVMe (current US PDP Basic Data and English user-manual §2.5). Previous catalog note about conflicting HDD size was not reproduced on the pages opened 11 Sep 2026.[1][2] |
| Replaceable storage drives | Yes. Top 3.5/2.5-inch sleds and side M.2 with heatsinks. Manual: power off first. AppleInsider: tool-free sleds.[2][9] |
| M.2 expansion | Yes[7] |
| Official external drive enclosure expansion | Multiple 10 Gbit USB ports; no official chassis.[2] |
| Physical M.2 slots | 2[7] |
| SATA without a mandatory model whitelist | 4× 2.5/3.5-inch SATA; no MPN whitelist on opened official pages.[1][2] |
| M.2 without a mandatory model whitelist | Two M.2 2280 NVMe with heatsinks.[1][9] |
| System flash | 128GB eMMC (PDP/manual).[1][2] Current US PDP and English manual: 128GB eMMC. igor’sLAB photographed spec table: 64G eMMC; same article conclusion still says 128GB. Keep both. |
| USB ports | 2× USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C, 2× USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-A, 2× USB 2.0 Type-A (PDP/manual).[1][2] |
| Video output | HDMI: PDP HDMI 2.0; manual table HDMI 2.1 (TMDS). 1.77-inch LCD with on/off switch.[1][2] |
Network
Exact LincStation S1 network records, with unknowns preserved.
| Installed Ethernet | 2 × 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 PCIe slot. Dual 2.5GbE only; AppleInsider notes no 10GbE upgrade path.[1][9] |
Software and data protection
Exact LincStation S1 software and data protection records, with unknowns preserved.
| Factory operating system | Unraid OS / Starter license (scratch card in the box). Igor’s sample shipped Unraid 6 and needed a LincPlus ISO after a 7.x update broke the LCD.[1][10] |
|---|---|
| RAID support | Official FAQ: Unraid parity array plus cache-pool RAID 0/1/10/5/6. AppleInsider restates RAID 0/1/5/6/10 and cache pools.[1][9] |
| Backup through the graphical interface | Unraid/Community Apps; AppleInsider lists backups among Unraid capabilities without a LincPlus-branded suite.[1][9] |
| Backup to an independent target | USB 10 Gbit ports; no official expansion chassis.[2] |
| Documented restore path | Unraid USB/key recovery and LincPlus custom-feature recovery guide. Vendor ISO recovery solved Igor’s historical LCD failure; the guide also documents manual feature restoration.[5][10] |
| Scheduled backup | Unraid app dependent.[1] |
| Restore from snapshots | Manual lists snapshot technology; depends on Unraid/ZFS setup.[2] |
| Version retention | Not a LincPlus-branded feature.[1] |
| Immutable protection | Not documented as factory.[1] |
| Remote snapshot replication | Not factory-documented.[1] |
| Native endpoint restore | Not a LincPlus endpoint product.[2] |
| Official system update path | Unraid Update OS. Igor’s 6→7 update broke the LCD until a vendor ISO reinstall.[1][10] |
| System status interface | Unraid GUI plus 1.77-inch LCD (can be switched off). Dual LED banks.[1][10] |
| System log interface | Unraid syslog; LincPlus manual defers to Unraid docs.[2] |
Warranty and support

AppleInsider: idle ~32 W with drives sleeping; peak 66 W during Plex transcode + copy. Different fill/load — do not merge.[1][10][9] |
| Acoustic conditions | igor’sLAB Voltcraft SL-200 at 40 cm: room 33.2 / idle 33.9 / load 35.1 dB(A). AppleInsider: fan barely noticeable four feet away in an office. No manufacturer dBA.[10][9] |
