After two years of continuous use in my homelab, the MINISFORUM NAB6 has completely exceeded my expectations. This little things was my first dedicated proxmox host. I've been consistently running seven virtual machines a mix of game servers and Docker hosts without a hiccup. The performance is there, I'm running a few dozen containers & everything runs without delay. Build quality is solid as well. Also, the amount of raw compute available in this compact package is more cost and power effective than a handful of Pi 5's. I upgraded the system to 64gb of ram and NAB6 still has plenty of headroom to run more applications.

Was going to get a Raspberry Pi and set up a Linux file server for a home network. But, by the time I got a case for the Pi that was capable of holding a drive I would've spent just as much as buying this ready-to-run NUC. That, and the fact that already had surplus RAM and a SATA drive, and I figured this was better deal (or at least far easier to implement). Did I mention it has four USB 3.0 ports. so you can add as my external drives as you're likely to need for use as a file server.

Fast boot time, speedy internals. Runs proxmox with little to no hassle Handles most linux distros with ease. Small form factor and surprisingly modular, I was pleasantly supersized with the amount of onboard M.2 slots.
