The ZimaBoard 2 Mini NAS Kit, which the report describes as well suited for trying things out and experimenting with a compact DIY NAS, has dropped from $469 to $409. It includes a PCIe dual NVMe M.2 SSD adapter card and a four-port USB adapter.
The ZimaCube 2, described as a full-fledged option for large photo backups and home media libraries, currently costs $749 instead of $799, with a USB4 SSD enclosure included as a free bonus. Anyone spending more than $399 in total also receives a PCIe-to-2.5G Ethernet adapter card, according to the report.
