Compact, versatile SBC for building a personal cloud or NAS
The ZimaBoard 832 is a compact and attractive looking single board computer with lots of expansion capabilities, making it a versatile system to build a low power and ultra small form factor home cloud system. The design is simple but looks great with the heatsink fins dominating the top of the case. Most of the ports, including the dual Gigabit Ethernet (Gbe) ports, USB ports and Mini DisplayPort. The front has the dual SATA ports with a single SATA power connector in middle. A SATA cable to connect a 2.5" SATA hard drive or SSD is included. On the right side is a PCIe x4 port, which is handy to add a NVMe SSD or 2.5Gbe adapter. Since the ZimaBoard 832 touts itself as a server system for setting up a personal home cloud or NAS, having the ability to add different storage options is important.The 832 comes with 32GB of storage, with Debian/CasaOS installed. The SATA ports is useful for adding TB of storage with cheaper SATA drives. If faster storage is needed, add a PCIe x4 to M.2 NVMe adapter which you can buy for less than $15 to add fast NVMe storage. The processor in the 832 is an Intel Celeron N3450, a 4-core CPU that runs at 1.1GHz and can turbo up to 2.2GHz. This N3450 is an old and under powered processor, but should be able to operate just fine as NAS or home cloud server. Many mini PCs in the price range of the 832 use the newer Celeron N5105, which is more capable 4-core processor. In Passmark benchmarks, the N5105 doubles the performance of the N3450 in both single thread and multi thread benchmarks and it's unfortunate ZimaBoard didn't add a more recent processor in the 832. The 832 has 8GB of RAM without the ability to add more.The 832 comes pre-installed with Debian 11 Linux with CasaOS. CasaOS is a home cloud system that allows you to quickly setup a home cloud with its user friendly interface. It support the Docker app ecosystem, allowing easy installation of over 100K apps, including NextCloud and Plex. I was able to quickly setup media shares on the 832, upload a video and have it shared on my home network. I connected to the 832 from my Surface Laptop 3 (running Windows 11) and was able to access the share via SMB and stream the video without any issues. Setting up a share like this would have taken some Linux and Debian knowledge, but with CasaOS, it was dead simple. The usage scenarios for the ZimaBoard 832 is limitless and I'm planning to add a simple storage array using SATA drives, or with the USB 3.0 ports and build a cheap and compact personal cloud system.

I'm not a Linux person but the Zima Board comes loaded with CasaOS which (from my experience) seems to be very easy to setup and use. I setup a personal cloud service to back up my photos via a very stable IOS and Android app.
My next thing to try is to setup a local media server once I add-on an external storage drive.
The hardware setup is also very flexible with the ability to add storage and external devices plus you have two network ports in case you want to run this as a firewall.
This is a great device to learn on and eventually use as a permanent feature in your home network setup.

It seems like the ZimaBoard would be comparable to the Raspberry Pi 4, but as much as I love the RasPi and the company's mission, the ZimaBoard is really in a different league. It seems snappy, and my benchmarking confirms it: The ZimaBoard is much faster, and it runs amd64 architecture which is nice. It has a bigger footprint than the RasPi, but it's still tiny. Quality is far nicer than I expected at this price point, and it feels heavy and solid. So far so good. It appears that this will be a great little headless server, and might even have enough grunt for desktop use.
UPDATE 07/23/2023:
It's summertime and my ZimaBoard has stayed up without a hitch, even in an environment without air conditioning. This week I moved 7TB of data through it with rsync, which caused a continuous load of about 35% CPU usage for 24 hours, and it handled the task, no problem. And this was during a heat wave with 100°F (~38°C) daytime temps. Once the CPU nears 50°C it throttles down, keeping temps in check, and without much performance hit in my case. Turns out, the ZimaBoard is as rugged as it looks, and the passive heatsink does its job, even in the heat.
