The Best Value Mini PC in the Czech Republic? This piece has 12 GB RAM, 1TB SSD and costs less than 7 thousand!

Memory prices are soaring due to the AI bubble – a 16GB DDR5 kit costs over 4 thousand, a basic 1TB SSD around 3 thousand. And here you have QOOBE NAS N150 with 12 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and Windows 11 for less than seven thousand. The math works out interestingly.

Mini PC and NAS in one body

The concept is simple: a compact box measuring 146 × 97.5 × 32 mm, which functions as both a regular computer and home storage. Inside, you’ll find an Intel N150 (4 cores, up to 3.6 GHz), 12 GB LPDDR5 memory, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The system runs from a 64GB eMMC, so the main SSD remains for your data.

Key is expandability: four M.2 2280 PCIe slots, each for up to a 4TB drive. This means a total of up to 16 TB of space for photos, videos, backups, or a home cloud. One slot is occupied by the included terabyte SSD, leaving three free.

Network features include 2.5GbE + 1GbE ports – you can separate a fast internal network from guests or utilize higher throughput for large files. Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 are a given. Three USB 3.2 ports and USB-C with Power Delivery complete the features.

What is it actually for

Its use is wide-ranging: a backup server for the home, a multimedia center for the TV (supports up to three 4K displays), a personal cloud instead of Google Drive or Dropbox. With suitable NAS software (TrueNAS, Unraid, OpenMediaVault), you can set up remote access, synchronization, and user accounts.

Thanks to its low power consumption and quiet dual-fan cooling, it is suitable for continuous operation. You can hide it behind a monitor or next to a router.

Unknown brand, known discount

QOOBE is not an established brand like Synology or QNAP. That’s fair to mention. But for this price, you’re getting components that would cost more separately – just the RAM and SSD alone would come to 6–7 thousand, plus you get a processor, motherboard, Windows license, and a compact case with cooling.

Is it a risk? A little bit, yes. Is it interesting for the money? Absolutely.

The original price was 13,990 CZK, with the discount code ALZADNY50 you can get it for 6,995 CZK. A fifty percent discount on a mini PC with a 1TB SSD and four M.2 slots – that’s not something you see every day. Anyone looking for a base for a home server or personal cloud has something to consider.

Do you run your own NAS at home, or are cloud services enough for you?
