The LincStation E1 is aimed at the entry-level NAS with flexible 2+2 storage, essentially two SATA bays and two M.2 NVMe slots. I found the hardware offers a balance of power and storage that's a great option for small offices and studios. The local NAS performance is decent enough, though limited by the 1Gbps wired connection. This is more than enough for those new to using a NAS. The build quality is good, and features such as the dual-band Wi-Fi and 4K HDMI are decent offerings at the price. However, LincOS still feels in its early stages of development, and the key feature, the person cloud remote access, is inconsistent and frankly just doesn’t work at present. At this price, as long as issues with LincOS are addressed, this will be a phenomenal NAS.
Pros
+Compact 2+2 bay storage layout
