This is an insane piece of kit for homelab which has just been released, It also just landed on Aliexpress for over $600 so this is a steal
4x NVME Slots
4x Hotswap drives compatible 2.5/3.5 plastic release
1x DDR5 Slot
CPU has heatsink and this system only has one fan that blows air through the aluminum case.
In order to get this you need to sign up for an Alibaba account add to cart at checkout pay later and select paypal and in the order notes ask for an AU plug
You have this one?
@SpeedAU: Awesome. Do the SSDs make contact with the aluminum case or is there a small enough gap to add thermal pads to make contact? They often get neglected with cooling.
@Clear: oh sorry i read this wrong, mines on order…. ill let you know. im assuming its just like aoostar

on request they can modify the plate to have vents in it for $6USD
this looks awesome, already have the Aoostar arriving next week though.
Is the Aoostar CPU fan not changeable?
not easily tried when i had mine and could only get as far as 120cm fan. I was unable to control the cpu fan so it ramped alot.
Ryzen or N150?
mine was a ryzen, not sure about n150
Interested to hear your thoughts on the aoostar.
This looks slightly better tho with ddr5 and multiple nvme slots
This is an insane piece of kit for homelab
Insane in the membrane?
Insane in the brain
This vs TerraMaster F4-424 Pro 32gb ?
For plex, some docker containers, video surveillance. No llms.
F4 Pro would have a N305 at least, so a much faster CPU. But it has 2 NVME slots rather than 4.
I expect either would be fine, F4’s more expensive but also a good deal on Prime if you stack the 5% off PayTo.
I’d probably get the F4 for local warranty & likely better support.
Yep, the local warranty is a major plus.
F4s with unraid shouldn't disappoint
(Hopefully Unraid doesn't void warranty)
I can get the product itself for 290USD, but, the shipping and tax blow it out to a total of 382.72USD.
Maybe I'm being silly?
looks like the price increased. Ask for a deal
Looks good with the 4 NVMe slots even though they're PCIE 3.0 x1 (because Intel N150) and a 120mm fan should be easy enough to swap with Arctic/Noctua for better cooling.
They do make some nice SSD NAS drives. I've always wanted the M1 NAS to land on AliExpress cheap with it's 4 M.2 NVMe slots.
