Aujourd’hui, nous avons la possibilité de déléguer une partie des tâches ménagères à des robots de plus en plus performants. Et nous n’allons pas nous en priver ! Lorsque nous choisissons d’investir dans un robot aspirateur-laveur, on cherche tous la même chose : un appareil vraiment efficace, capable de garder notre intérieur impeccable. J’ai testé plusieurs modèles ces dernières années et j’étais curieuse de voir ce que proposait MOVA avec le Z60 Ultra Roller Standalone. Sa fiche technique est impressionnante, il me paraît être un robot haut de gamme et je voulais voir s’il tenait vraiment ses promesses.

Est-ce une vraie révolution… ou un robot de plus dans un marché déjà saturé ? Voici mon retour…

Clairement, on est sur un modèle très haut de gamme, complet et surtout ambitieux.

Installation et 1re prise en main

L’installation du robot s’est faite très simplement. Une fois l’application MOVAHome installée, tout se configure étape par étape : connexion avec le téléphone, puis au Wi-Fi… J’ai trouvé cette partie vraiment facile. En revanche, une fois dans l’application, j’ai eu besoin d’un petit temps d’adaptation. L’interface n’est pas vraiment intuitive. Cela dit, je n’ai pour le moment trouvé aucune des applications pour robot aspirateur intuitives…

Après avoir passé un peu de temps à me familiariser avec l’application, je découvre un grand nombre d’options et notamment les raccourcis personnalisés. Très pratique pour lancer mes modes préférés en un clic. Malgré tout, les réglages essentiels sont faciles d’accès : niveau d’aspiration et paramètres de lavage.

La cartographie de la maison s’est faite rapidement. Le robot a traversé les pièces avec précision, puis la carte est apparue. J’ai pu la modifier, ajouter des cloisons, repérer les zones basses, les tapis… Bref, tout ce qu’il faut pour optimiser le nettoyage.

Performances d’aspiration

J’ai testé le robot sur trois types de sols :

• carrelage de cuisine
• parquet flottant
• tapis poils courts et longs

Résultat : sur carrelage et parquet, rien à dire, le nettoyage est impeccable. Sur les tapis en revanche, j’espérais un peu mieux, surtout avec une aspiration annoncée à 26 000 Pa. Ayant un autre robot de 7 000 Pa, je m’attendais à un écart plus net, quelques miettes sont restées dans le tapis à poil long. Le résultat est correct, mais ce n’est pas la zone où il m’a le plus impressionnée.

La brosse latérale, qui s’étend vers l’extérieur, est une très bonne idée sur le papier et elle fonctionne… mais elle n’a pas réussi à récupérer les miettes sous mes meubles bas de la cuisine (IKEA) comme je l’espérais. Comme on le voit sur l’image, elle ne parvient pas à récupérer toutes les miettes situées en profondeur. Cla dépend évidemment du design du meuble et de la profondeur de l’espace. La hauteur du meuble est de 8 cm, l’aspirateur ne passe pas dessous, mais la brosse latérale aurait pu aller plus loin…

Côté technologie, il y a tout de même des points très réussis :

• TroboWave DuoBrush et son système anti-enchevêtrement : parfait pour les cheveux longs, un vrai soulagement dans une maison avec plusieurs filles.
• MaxiReach, qui permet à la brosse et au rouleau d’aller nettoyer au plus près des murs.

Performances de lavage

C’est clairement sur cette partie que j’ai été la plus impressionnée. Plusieurs modes de lavage sont disponibles, avec un taux d’humidification ajustable. Le robot adapte également la température de l’eau en fonction des types de sols, grâce à 4 niveaux différents. J’ai obtenu un très bon nettoyage, aussi bien sur carrelage que sur parquet. Le rouleau qui s’étend pour nettoyer le long des plinthes est juste génial : il couvre vraiment les bordures, ce que peu de robots font correctement, mais toujours pas sous mon meuble de cuisine…

J’ai aimé :

• le dosage automatique du produit avec l’eau,
• le rouleau serpillière qui reste propre tout au long du lavage grâce à un système de 12 buses qui humidifient en permanence le rouleau : Technologie HydroForce,
• l’aspiration de l’eau sale en temps réel,
• les 4 températures de lavage.

Le sol ressort propre, sans traces, et surtout sans excès d’eau.

Mode combiné Aspi + Lavage

Le MOVA Z60 permet de choisir entre aspiration seule, lavage seul, les deux combinés l’un à la suite de l’autre ou les deux en un seul passage. On peut aussi configurer zone par zone ses préférences d’aspiration et de lavage : plus d’eau ici, plus d’aspiration là-bas… Il nous laisse la possibilité de définir toutes nos préférences. Nous avons aussi accès à des recommandations automatiques “CleanGenius”. Ces dernières adaptent le nettoyage en fonction du sol ou de la saleté détectée. C’est simple, on lance, et le robot réfléchit pour nous !

Grâce à la Technologie AutoShield, le robot peut passer sur les tapis sans les mouiller : la serpillière se relève de 14 mm et une protection supplémentaire vient s’ajuster autour du rouleau. Testé sur un tapis épais à poil long : zéro humidité. Un très bon point.

Navigation et intelligence embarquée

La navigation est très précise. Le robot ne repasse pas inutilement plusieurs fois au même endroit, mais n’oublie pas non plus de zones.

Il gère parfaitement :

• l’évitement des obstacles (même ajoutés en cours de route), grâce au système Quad-Synergy Drive,
• les zones à faible luminosité,
• les petits objets,
• les pièces complexes avec l’AI SmartSight.

La technologie FlexScope est très impressionnante : le laser se rétracte pour lui permettre de passer sous des meubles bas, jusqu’à 96 mm.

Petite précision importante concernant le passage sous les meubles : malgré sa hauteur annoncée, je n’ai pas réussi à faire passer le MOVA Z60 Ultra Roller sous mon canapé, alors même que celui-ci est plus haut que le robot 12,5 cm de hauteur (voir la photo ci-dessous).

La caméra intégrée ajoute un vrai plus :

• surveillance à distance
• dialogue avec les animaux
• pilotage du robot comme une télécommande
• surveillance de votre appartement

Application MOVAHome : complète, mais pas toujours intuitive

Je trouve l’application globalement riche, voire très riche. Elle propose énormément de réglages :

• nom des pièces,
• zones interdites,
• zones à faible hauteur,
• seuils franchissables ou non,
• zones tapis,
• réglages de lavage et d’aspiration…

Une fois qu’on a compris comment elle est organisée, ça devient un vrai tableau de bord. Mais la prise en main initiale est compliquée.

Bruit, autonomie & entretien

J’ai été agréablement surprise par le niveau sonore : je l’ai trouvé plutôt silencieux, quel que soit le mode utilisé.

L’entretien est simple :

• Après chaque utilisation : vider l’eau sale après chaque utilisation,
• Toutes les 2 semaines, un nettoyage un peu plus en profondeur est conseillé, remplir le réservoir d’eau propre, nettoyer la brosse principale et la latérale, nettoyer le filtre à poussière et dépoussiérer les déflecteurs.

La station autonome est l’un des points forts :

• vidage automatique du bac à poussière (jusqu’à 100 jours sans intervention selon MOVA),
• recharge automatique du réservoir d’eau du robot,
• séchage à l’air chaud de la serpillère, afin d’éviter les mauvaises odeurs
• distribution automatique du détergent (600 ml).

Best NAS You Can Buy Right Now for Under $249 at the end of 2025

As personal data storage requirements continue to rise in 2025, many users are moving away from cloud platforms and monthly subscription services in search of something more private and cost effective. A dedicated NAS, or network attached storage system, allows you to back up photo collections, host a home media library, or manage small business files while keeping full control of your data and avoiding ongoing fees. The good news is that the market now includes several capable options priced at or under 249 dollars. Improvements in low power processors, wider use of DDR5 memory, and leaner operating systems have made entry level systems far more powerful than they were even a year ago. They can comfortably handle tasks such as Plex playback, simple virtualization, and lightweight container apps. This article looks at five NAS units currently available within this price bracket, each offering a practical mix of performance, connectivity, and storage flexibility for anyone building a reliable setup on a limited budget.

Important Disclaimer and Notes Before You Buy!

Before looking at specific NAS models, it helps to understand the common limits of systems in this price tier. Most units under 249 dollars arrive without drives, and rely on NVMe or SATA bays that must be filled separately. Some include small onboard storage such as 32GB to 64GB eMMC that only covers the operating system. This means the total cost of a usable setup will usually be higher than the base price. These devices are aimed at home users and personal cloud tasks rather than heavier business workloads. Several models also lack a full NAS operating system and instead use lightweight platforms such as CasaOS or ZimaOS, or provide only a simple interface for local file access and containers. These options are improving, yet they may not offer advanced RAID tools, snapshot automation, or detailed permission control found on systems like Synology DSM or TrueNAS. Overall, these NAS units suit users with some technical confidence or anyone who wants a simple setup with limited depth.

Beelink ME Mini NAS – 6 Bay SSD NAS

$209 – Intel N150 – 12GB – No SSD (64GB eMMC Only) – 2x 2.5GbE + WiFi 6 – No OS / User Install – BUY HERE

The Beelink ME Mini is a compact NAS designed for anyone who wants fast SSD storage in a very small enclosure. It measures 99mm on each side and includes six M.2 2280 NVMe slots that can deliver as much as 24TB when fully populated. The system uses an Intel N150 processor with 12GB of LPDDR5 memory, which provides a solid mix of performance and low power draw. Connectivity includes two 2.5GbE ports, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.2, giving it flexibility for both wired and wireless use. Cooling is handled passively and the unit contains its own power supply, which keeps noise and cable clutter to a minimum and makes it a good fit for living rooms or compact office spaces.

Terramaster F2-425 2- Bay Intel Value Turnkey NAS

$249 – Intel N5105 – 4GB – TOS 6 Software – 1x 2.5GbE – 2x SATA – BUY HERE

The Terramaster F2-424 is a two bay NAS that sits near the upper edge of the 249 dollar bracket and focuses on providing a more traditional turnkey experience. It uses an Intel Celeron class x86 quad core processor with 4GB of memory that can be upgraded, which allows it to handle general home NAS tasks and hardware assisted 4K decoding for applications such as Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin.

The system supports two SATA drives for a total capacity of up to 60TB and includes TRAID for flexible expansion and space management. Connectivity is limited to a single 2.5GbE port, which is sufficient for most home use but less flexible than some other systems in this list that offer two LAN ports. The unit runs TOS 6, which provides RAID options, snapshots, cloud sync, and a broad selection of built in apps for backup, media, and light productivity needs.

Setup can be completed through the TNAS Mobile app, which also supports automatic photo and video backups from mobile devices. Local AI driven sorting for photos is included, and cross platform access is available through the TNAS client or standard network mapping. TerraSync enables PC backups with version history, and security features include OTP authentication, firewall controls, DoS protections, snapshots, and HyperLock WORM for ransomware resistance. The chassis is quiet in operation and uses tool free push lock trays that allow quick installation or replacement of drives.

Terramaster also offers the F2-425 Plus at roughly 130 dollars more. That model increases CPU and memory resources and is aimed at users who want stronger performance and scalability. For those who want to remain within the 249 dollar limit, the F2-424 provides a straightforward Intel based platform with a familiar OS, upgradable memory, and native HDD support, as long as the single network port meets the user’s needs.

GMKTec G9 NAS – 4 Bay M.2 NAS @ The lowest Price

$185.99 – Intel N150 – 12GB – No SSD (64GB eMMC Only) – 2x 2.5GbE + WiFi 6 – Ubuntu 24.10 (Preloaded, Switchable) – BUY HERE

The GMKTec G9 provides hardware that closely matches the Beelink ME Mini, since it also uses the Intel N150 processor and 12GB of LPDDR5 memory. It arrives in a more traditional rectangular enclosure and includes four M.2 2280 NVMe slots instead of six. The system contains 64GB of onboard eMMC storage that is mainly used to boot Ubuntu 24.10, and it can dual boot into Windows 11 when an additional SSD is installed. As with the Beelink, there is no SATA support, so all storage relies on NVMe drives up to 4TB each. Cooling is handled by an active fan and the device includes two HDMI outputs, which makes it a stronger option for anyone who wants a small desktop system or direct media output as part of their NAS setup. The manufacturer issued a refresh in summer 2025 that improved the cooling layout with better vent placement and more efficient airflow.

Synology BeeStation 4TB NAS – ALL IN ONE!

$199 – Realtek RTD1619B – 1GB – 4TB SINGLE BAY – 1x 1GbE – BeeStation Manager (BSM) – BUY HERE

The Synology BeeStation 4TB is a single bay NAS designed for users who want a ready to use system with no installation work. It arrives with a pre installed 4TB hard drive and a sealed enclosure, so there is no need to source or fit storage. The system uses a Realtek RTD1619B ARM processor with 1GB of DDR4 memory and connects through a single 1GbE port. It runs BeeStation Manager, which focuses on beginner friendly features such as cloud style file access, simple photo management, and smooth integration with Synology mobile apps. Synology also released the BeeStation Plus model in 2025 with an Intel processor, more memory, and 8TB of storage, but it sits at roughly double the price. If you are willing to spend more, that model gives you greater performance and capacity.

UGREEN NASync DXP2800 NAS – The New Challenger!

$249 – Intel N100 – 8GB – No Storage (32GB eMMC) – 1x 2.5GbE – UGOS Pro – BUY HERE

The UGREEN DXP2800 sits in the NASync series and targets users who want a mix of expandability and value. It supports both hard drives and SSDs through two 3.5 inch SATA bays and two M.2 NVMe slots that can be used for caching or fast active data work. The system uses an Intel N100 processor from the twelfth generation energy efficient N series and pairs it with 8GB of DDR5 memory that can be upgraded. A 32GB eMMC module holds the UGOS Pro operating system. Connectivity is built around a single 2.5GbE port with several USB ports on the front and rear including USB C and 10Gbps USB A. UGOS Pro offers a clean web interface with containers, RAID options such as zero, one, and JBOD, simple multimedia features, and remote file access.

UGREEN recently released the DH2300 two bay NAS at a noticeably lower price of roughly 100 to 120 dollars below the DXP2800. That model uses a lower power ARM processor, far less memory, and only one 1GbE port. It is acceptable for very light duties, but most users will benefit from spending a little more on the DXP2800 due to its stronger CPU, memory capacity, and networking.

Although UGOS Pro does not match the ecosystem depth of Synology DSM or QNAP QTS, the DXP2800 remains one of the few turnkey systems in this bracket that supports SSD and HDD storage in a flexible layout without proprietary limits. Users will still need to supply their own drives and configure storage pools, yet the combination of hardware capability and manageable software makes it a strong choice for anyone comfortable handling a modest amount of setup work.

ZimaBoard 2 (832 Version) – DIY Enthusiast’s DREAM!

$199 – Intel N150 – 8GB – No Storage (32GB eMMC) – 2x 2.5GbE – ZimaOS – BUY HERE

The ZimaBoard 2 (832) is a compact single board NAS platform built for users who want flexibility and modular control rather than a traditional enclosure based system. It arrives as a bare embedded board with all interfaces exposed, which makes it ideal for custom builds. The system uses the Intel N150 quad core processor with 8GB of LPDDR5x memory and includes 32GB of onboard eMMC storage for ZimaOS. The device ships with a lifetime ZimaOS license, which is notable at this price level. It also stands out by providing two powered SATA 3.0 ports, giving it native support for hard drives without any need for USB to SATA adapters. The product is now sold on Amazon, although the price can move between 249 and 349 dollars depending on current stock and promotions, so it is worth watching for discounts.

Connectivity is strong for a low profile platform. It offers two 2.5GbE ports, USB 3.1, a PCIe 3.0 x4 slot, and a Mini DisplayPort output that can deliver 4K60 video. The PCIe slot opens the door for add on networking, storage controllers, or accelerators, although most users will start by using the SATA ports for core NAS storage. The large passive heatsink keeps the board silent, although thermal results will depend on the case you choose and the surrounding environment.

This system suits DIY builders who want to create their own NAS, firewall appliance, lightweight media server, or container host. ZimaOS provides a simple web interface and allows the user to switch to CasaOS or other Linux based platforms if preferred. It is aimed at users who want maximum control and are comfortable managing their own setup rather than those seeking a plug and play NAS.

---

Each NAS covered in this guide delivers its own mix of hardware capability, expansion potential, and overall usability while staying within the 249 dollar limit. Users who want a fully prepared option with minimal setup will likely prefer the Synology BeeStation, and anyone who wants a small SSD focused system with stronger customisation features may find the Beelink ME Mini or GMKTec G9 more suitable. The UGREEN DXP2800 stands out for its combination of HDD and SSD support and a more developed software platform, while the ZimaBoard 2 is aimed at technical users who want full control over every layer of the build. None of these devices is a perfect all rounder, yet each one provides a practical entry into local storage, self hosted media, and personal backup without exceeding a modest budget

QNAP a mis en ligne QuTS hero h6.0 (Bêta), une mise à jour majeure de son système embarqué pour les NAS basé sur ZFS.  Cette version vise avant tout la haute disponibilité, la protection immuable des données et une meilleure prise en charge des workloads d’IA. Elle se positionne comme une réponse aux besoins des entreprises confrontées à des volumes de données croissants et à des exigences renforcées en matière de continuité de service…

QuTS hero h6.0 Bêta

Avant d’entrer dans le détail, il convient de rappeler que cette nouvelle mouture marque une étape importante pour QNAP. Au-delà d’une interface rafraîchie, h6.0 renforce la disponibilité des systèmes et la protection des données. Le constructeur mise clairement sur cette version et, à première vue, le résultat est convaincant. Est-ce que QuTS va dépasser DSM ?

Haute disponibilité

Parmi les nouveautés les plus importantes, QuTS hero h6.0 introduit un mode Dual-NAS High Availability (HA) via l’High Availability Manager. Deux NAS peuvent désormais former un cluster actif/passif pour assurer la continuité des services et réduire les interruptions planifiés ou non. QNAP annonce une compatibilité étendue des services pouvant bénéficier du HA, ce qui améliore l’efficacité opérationnelle.

Snapshots immuables

La seconde avancée dans QuTS hero h6.0, c’est l’arrivée des snapshots immuables. Ces clichés protégés contre la suppression ou la modification ajoutent une couche de défense contre les ransomwares et les corruptions accidentelles. Combinés au ZFS et à des politiques de rétention adaptées, ils renforcent considérablement les stratégies de sauvegarde et de reprise.

IA en local

QNAP met également en avant des améliorations destinées à faciliter les workflows IA en local : optimisation des performances, meilleure gestion des jeux de données volumineux et réduction de la dépendance au cloud pour certaines tâches d’inférence ou de traitement.

En synthèse

QuTS hero h6.0 constitue une évolution logique et ambitieuse de l’écosystème ZFS chez QNAP : plus de disponibilité, une résilience renforcée face aux menaces modernes et des outils mieux adaptés aux environnements manipulant de grands volumes de données ou des charges IA.

Vous pouvez consulter le détail complet des nouveautés via le lien fourni par QNAP.

Du côté de la sécurité et de l’administration, cette version Bêta améliore les outils de gestion et introduit des mécanismes adaptés aux environnements sensibles (audit renforcé, contrôles d’accès…). Pour les entreprises où l’intégrité et la continuité des données sont prioritaires, cette Bêta mérite une phase de test en environnement contrôlé, en gardant à l’esprit que la version finale pourra encore affiner la compatibilité matérielle et logicielle.

Important : QuTS hero h6.0 est actuellement en bêta publique. Il est déconseillé de l’installer sur un NAS de production. Pensez à vérifier la compatibilité de votre matériel, des applications installées (certains services peuvent nécessiter une mise à jour) et à préparer un plan de test avant toute migration vers un environnement opérationnel.

Liste non exhaustive de NAS compatibles :

• TS-h2490FU / TS-h1090FU
• TS-h1290FX
• TDS-h2489FU / TDS-h2489FUR2
• TS-h3088XU-RP
• TVS-h1288X / TVS-h1688X
• TS-h1886XU-RP / TS-1886XU-RP
• TS-h686 / TS-h886

Conseils

Si le produit qui vous intéresse est déjà en promotion, ne tardez pas à l’acheter. D’après notre expérience, les promotions additionnelles sont rares. Si l’offre est intéressante, les stocks pourraient s’épuiser rapidement. En revanche, si l’article que vous convoitez n’est pas encore en promotion, restez à l’affût : de nouvelles offres devraient bientôt être disponibles.

Prix bas, erreur et annulation

Un petit rappel concernant les erreurs de prix : un vendeur peut annuler une vente lorsque le prix du produit est considéré comme « dérisoire » et résulte d’une erreur. En France, un commerçant est tenu d’afficher le prix correct et de vendre le produit au prix indiqué (article L.121-11 du Code de la consommation). Cependant, si le prix est manifestement trop bas ou dérisoire, la vente peut être annulée. Il s’agit d’une erreur manifeste, comme une remise importante de 95 % sur un produit. Prenons un exemple concret : un NAS normalement affiché à 999 €, dont le prix chute à 9,99 € (ou même à 99,90 €). Le vendeur peut légitimement annuler la vente (article 1169 du Code civil).

Au-delà du prix très agressif, Surfshark se démarque sur plusieurs aspects clés : nombre d’appareils, réseau mondial et fonctionnalités premium habituellement payantes ailleurs.

Trouver les meilleurs prix

Certains marchands adaptent leurs prix selon l’emplacement de l’utilisateur. Avec un VPN comme Surfshark, vous pouvez changer de localisation pour comparer les tarifs internationaux et trouver les meilleures réductions.

Black Friday Terramaster NAS Deals Now Live

Black Friday 2025 brings some of the strongest price cuts Terramaster has offered to date, with major reductions across the entire lineup of NAS and DAS systems. Flagship units like the F4-424 Max drop from $899.99 to $629.99, the F6-424 Max sees deep reductions on high-capacity six-bay storage, and the all-flash F4 SSD now sits at $319.99 instead of $399.99. Even the entry models receive meaningful cuts, such as the F2-425 Plus falling to $319.99 and the D1 SSD Plus dropping to $76.99. This mix of discounts spans home users, creative workflows, SMB deployment, and high-speed all-flash storage, setting the stage for one of the most competitive Terramaster Black Friday lineups yet.

Terramaster 2025 Generation NAS Black Friday Deals

The Terramaster F4-425 Plus, F2-425 Plus, and F4-425 form the core of the brand’s 2025 generation Black Friday lineup, each delivering a significant jump in performance over older Terramaster models while receiving sizeable price cuts for the sale period. The F4-425 Plus is reduced to $455.99 from $569.99 and features an Intel N150 processor, 16GB DDR5 memory, dual 5GbE ports, and three M.2 NVMe slots, making it suitable for large Plex libraries, virtual machines, 8K transcoding, and high speed RAID arrays using TRAID or RAID 5 or RAID 6. The smaller F2-425 Plus drops to $319.99 from $399.99 and keeps the same N150 CPU and dual 5GbE networking but in a two bay format with 8GB DDR5 memory and three M.2 slots for SSD caching or high speed all flash pools, which suits creators or compact home labs. The F4-425 sits at a lower price of $313.99 from $369.99 and uses the Intel N5095 processor with 4GB DDR4 memory and a single 2.5GbE port, making it a more affordable entry point for home backups, light Plex streaming, and RAID 5 or TRAID setups while retaining the same push lock drive bays and aluminum chassis design found across the range.

Terramaster Best SSD System Black Friday Deals

The spotlight turns to high‐performance SSD-based storage in Terramaster’s Black Friday 2025 lineup with the F4 SSD, the F8 SSD Plus NAS, and the D4 SSD 4-Bay USB DAS—all receiving deep discounts. The F4 SSD 4-Bay All-Flash NAS is offered for $319.99 (down from $399.99) and gives creators and small workgroups fast NVMe caching support, all-flash RAID (0/1/5/6/10) readiness and a desktop form factor suited to demanding media workflows. The F8 SSD Plus 8-Bay NAS, now $639.99 instead of $799.99, scales up that performance into a larger chassis: excellent for high throughput workloads, database hosting, content creation pipelines or consolidation of multiple flash volumes with plenty of headroom and robust NAS services. Rounding out the trio, the D4 SSD 4-Bay All-Flash DAS is discounted to $239.99 (from $299.99) and provides USB-C or Thunderbolt 3/4 (depending on region) direct access to four SSDs, making it a great companion for video editors, mobile creators or anyone who needs ultra-low latency local storage with the ability to archive later to a full NAS. Together, these three systems cover fast all-flash storage needs—from editing bays to fast-access workstations to high-capacity large NAS units—at some of Terramaster’s most aggressive Black Friday pricing.

---

Terramaster Power Desktop NAS Black Friday Deals

Terramaster’s Power Desktop NAS lineup sees serious Black Friday cuts in 2025 for users who need multi-bay capacity and high performance in a compact desktop form factor. The F4-424 Max 4-Bay NAS is offered at $629.99 (down from $899.99) and delivers a strong balance of features: Intel N5095 or equivalent quad-core processor, multiple high speed LAN options, M.2 SSD caching or expansion, and support for large 30 TB+ drives in RAID 5 or TRAID+. The F6-424 (non-Max) drops to $479.99 (from $599.99) and bumps capacity up to six bays while maintaining the compact footprint, offering creators and small offices a six-drive pool with ample headroom for large media libraries or datasets. The F6-424 Max takes it further, combining six-bay mechanics with the “Max” class enhancements—higher memory, faster networking, and premium chassis build—making it a powerhouse for homelab users or prosumers at the reduced Black Friday price (specific price not listed, but expect similar ~20% discount). Together, these three units represent Terramaster’s desktop NAS workhorses—ideal for high capacity, multi-drive setups during Black Friday 2025.

WE LOVE COFFEE

 

Cela fait maintenant plusieurs jours que nous utilisons le nouveau NAS UGREEN DH2300. Avec ses 2 baies, ce modèle vise un public large : utilisateurs souhaitant se passer des abonnements Cloud, centraliser ses fichiers ou monter un petit serveur domestique sans prise de tête. UGREEN mise ici sur la simplicité, mais aussi sur la sécurité, en proposant un NAS facile à installer et à administrer. Et avec un tarif de lancement de 209,99€ (167,99€ actuellement en promotion), difficile de ne pas s’interroger : la promesse est-elle tenue ?

Test UGREEN DH2300

Après une entrée fracassante sur le marché du NAS avec des produits relativement haut de gamme, UGREEN revient depuis quelques mois avec 2 modèles plus accessibles. Mais comme vous allez le voir, ces nouveaux venus sont loin d’être dénués d’intérêt… au contraire !

Contenu de la boîte

À l’ouverture, on trouve :

• Le NAS UGREEN DH2300 ;
• 1 câble réseau RJ45 ;
• Des vis de fixation pour les disques et SSD ;
• Un tournevis ;
• Une alimentation externe ;
• Un guide de démarrage complet ;
• Un livret de garantie.

On est en présence du strict nécessaire pour bien démarrer. Le tournevis est peut-être de trop. Si l’intension du fabricant est noble, il est inutile de le proposer…

Construction du NAS et design

Le DH2300 affiche un design à la fois sobre et original. Entièrement conçu en plastique noir rigide, il se tient fièrement à la verticale et occupe très peu de place sur un bureau. Ses dimensions sont de 151 × 198 × 213,7 mm pour un poids d’environ 950 g. Particularité de ce châssis tout en hauteur : le ventilateur est placé (au-dessous) à la base du boîtier.

À noter que la présence de plusieurs trous et fentes à l’arrière (en haut) et sur les côtés (en bas) facilite la circulation de l’air et le refroidissement du NAS.

Connectique

En façade :

• 1 port USB-C 3.0 (5 Gb/s) ;
• Le bouton d’alimentation ;
• Les LED d’état ;
• Un capteur NFC permettant d’associer rapidement un smartphone.

À l’arrière :

• 2 ports USB-A 3.0 ;
• 1 sortie HDMI compatible 4K/60 Hz ;
• 1 port Ethernet 1 Gb/s.

La sortie HDMI peut être utilisée pour diffuser des vidéos sur un téléviseur (via l’application mobile).

Intérieur du DH2300

Le DH2300 est équipé d’un processeur Octo Core ARM Rockchip RK3576  cadencé à 2,2 GHz, accompagné de 4 Go de RAM DDR4 (non extensibles). Selon PassMark, il obtient un score de 3 871 points, largement suffisant pour les usages auxquels il est destiné.

Installation des disques et SSD

UGREEN propose ici un système vraiment simple. Pour accéder aux 2 chariots, il suffit de retirer la partie supérieure grise (chapeau). L’accès est facile. Par contre, il est nécessaire d’utiliser le tournevis pour installer les disques (vis fournies).

Les chariots sont en plastique rigide, avec des amortisseurs souples pour réduire les vibrations et donc le bruit.

Mise en route avec UGOS Pro

L’installation matérielle est rapide : on insère les disques, on connecte le RJ45, on branche l’alimentation, et c’est parti.

Pour l’installation et les premiers pas, nous vous recommandons de passer par un navigateur Web et d’aller à l’adresse : find.ugnas.com. UGREEN propose des applications mobiles (Android et iOS) et des logiciels (Windows et macOS).

L’installation se déroule en 3 étapes et prend moins de 10 minutes. Cependant, malgré sa volonté de simplifier l’expérience, UGREEN demande encore à l’utilisateur de créer lui-même le volume de stockage (et le pool). L’assistant est clair, mais on aurait apprécié une automatisation complète pour éliminer toute friction.

Rassurez-vous : même sans compétences techniques, la configuration reste très simple.

Mises à jour régulières

UGREEN déploie régulièrement des mises à jour pour corriger des bugs, améliorer les performances et ajouter des fonctionnalités. Un bon point pour la pérennité du produit.

Applications

L’interface UGOS Pro est épurée et fluide. Un Centre d’applications propose les services maison : sauvegarde de photos, streaming multimédia, synchronisation, etc.

L’écosystème logiciel est solide :

• application mobile très complète ;
• logiciel PC/Mac ;
• application Android TV et tvOS.

Le lecteur multimédia Théâtre propose une expérience correcte pour lire des vidéos, mais en retrait face à Plex ou Jellyfin. L’application Photos est prometteuse, mais certaines fonctionnalités avancées manquent encore de stabilité (comme la reconnaissance d’objets). Rien d’insurmontable… UGREEN semble être sur la bonne voie.

Côté sécurité

Le DH2300 prend en charge plusieurs protocoles de chiffrement (TLS/SSL, RSA, AES). L’authentification à 2 facteurs est disponible. Un module Sécurité peut analyser les menaces en temps réel, envoyer des alertes et programmer des scans.

Performances

Dans la première partie de nos tests, nous allons évaluer les performances des transferts à travers un réseau 1 Gb/s (entre le NAS et des ordinateurs). Ensuite, nous regarderons les capacités du processeur, en analysant ses performances dans la virtualisation et le transcodage vidéo.

Vitesses dans les transferts

Depuis plusieurs années, nous avons mis en place un protocole de tests rigoureux fournissant des données fiables et comparables avec les performances des autres NAS. Pour cela, nous utilisons 4 applications de mesure différentes (2 sous macOS et 2 sous Windows) et réalisons en plus des transferts de fichiers de tailles variées dans les deux sens (NAS -> Ordinateur puis Ordinateur -> NAS) :

• Petites tailles : 100 fichiers de 500 Ko à 12 Mo (MP3, photos, documents Office)
• Tailles moyennes : 30 fichiers de 12 à 350 Mo (DivX, images RAW, archives ZIP)
• Fichiers volumineux : 10 fichiers avec une taille comprise entre 4 et 10 Go (MKV, ISO)

À partir de ces tests, nous calculons une moyenne des transferts que nous représentons sous forme de graphiques, exprimée en mégaoctets par seconde. Plus le nombre est élevé, plus le NAS est rapide. Pour notre évaluation du F4-425, nous avons configuré un premier volume avec 2* SSD WD Red SA 500 en RAID 0, puis en RAID 1.

RAID 0

Sans atteindre la limite théorique du Gigabit, les performances sont très bonnes, stables et régulières sur toutes les tailles de fichiers.

RAID 1

Avec la protection RAID 1 activée, le DH2300 conserve d’excellents débits. C’est à la fois surprenant et rassurant. Une belle réussite !

Il n’y a toujours pas la possibilité de chiffrer un dossier. Cependant, il est possible de mettre en place un Coffre-fort à travers un paquet, mais cela restera à travers l’interface Web (inaccessible en SMB).

Performances générales

Ce NAS n’est pas conçu pour la virtualisation ou la conteneurisation, fonctions absentes sur ce modèle… et ce n’est clairement pas sa cible. UGREEN a privilégié la simplicité d’usage, et l’interface reste parfaitement fluide. En transcodage, même en 4K, nous n’avons pas réussi à mettre le processeur en difficulté.

Consommation électrique et nuisance sonore

Le ventilateur placé sous le boîtier est très discret, presque inaudible. Côté consommation, le DH2300 affiche entre 3 et 6 W en utilisation normale (avec les 2 SSD) et jusqu’à 8,5 W lors de tâches intensives. Des valeurs excellentes pour un NAS domestique.

DIY NAS Mobo+CPU Combo Black Friday Deals

Black Friday 2025 has turned into an unexpectedly strong year for NAS-oriented CPU and motherboard combos, with some of the most capable low-power and mid-range processors finally dropping into impulse-buy pricing. Boards built around the Intel N150, N305, and even the Ryzen 7 8845HS are now appearing with deep discounts, and many of them pair surprisingly high-performance compute with dense SATA layouts, multiple NVMe slots, and 10GbE networking. These platforms slot neatly into the current wave of home lab operating systems, giving users a flexible foundation for TrueNAS, UnRAID, Proxmox, or ZimaOS, whether the goal is a compact all-flash array, a low-watt Plex server, or a fully virtualized workload host.

The Best Black Friday Hard Drive NAS Upgrade Deals

Black Friday 2025 has brought a wide range of discounts on storage hardware, making it one of the best times of the year to buy or expand your NAS or backup setup. Both Amazon and B&H are offering notable price drops on high-capacity NAS-class hard drives, external USB backup drives, and SSD-based portable options. Since drive prices fluctuate throughout the year, these seasonal promotions provide a rare chance to secure larger capacities, replace aging disks, or build out a new storage pool at a lower overall cost. Whether you need reliable NAS HDDs for a multi-bay system, fast SSDs for caching, or simple external drives for offsite backups, this guide highlights the key Black Friday offers worth considering across the major storage categories.

Reminder: When upgrading or expanding storage, always factor in proper data protection. A simple RAID 1 mirror provides basic redundancy for two-bay setups, while RAID 5 across three or more drives offers both fault tolerance and improved read performance. These configurations protect against drive failure but are not a substitute for external or offsite backups, which should remain part of any reliable storage strategy.

Le Black Friday 2025 démarre fort pour les utilisateurs soucieux de sécurité numérique et de stockage cloud. Du 17 au 29 novembre 2025, pCloud lance l’une de ses promotions les plus agressives : jusqu’à 60 % de réduction sur ses plans à vie et sur un pack 3-en-1 en édition limitée réunissant stockage sécurisé, chiffrement local et gestion de mots de passe. Une occasion rare d’investir une bonne fois pour toutes dans un espace cloud souverain, suisse, sans abonnement récurrent.

Une tarification imbattable

Dans un marché dominé par les abonnements mensuels, pCloud reste l’un des seuls acteurs à proposer des plans à vie. Cette approche séduit les utilisateurs qui veulent sortir du cycle des renouvellements et stabiliser leurs dépenses. Pour le Black Friday, pCloud pousse son concept encore plus loin avec une réduction massive :

• Pack 3 en 1 à vie – 5 To + Encryption + Pass : 599 € (-60 %)
• 1 To : 199 € (-54 %)
• 2 To : 279 € (-53 %)
• 10 To : 799 € (-58 %)

Le tout accessible via la page officielle du Black Friday 2025.

Écosystème complet, sécurisé et évolutif

pCloud n’est pas qu’un simple espace de stockage. Le service suisse, qui revendique plus de 22 millions d’utilisateurs, mise sur une combinaison de sécurité, de souveraineté et d’outils intelligents.

Stockage souverain et multiplateformes

Vous choisissez où sont vos fichiers : Luxembourg ou États-Unis. Les applications sont disponibles sur Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android… et via pCloud Drive, un disque virtuel qui ajoute instantanément un espace cloud sur votre machine comme s’il s’agissait d’un support externe.

Sauvegardes automatiques et synchronisation instantanée

Avec pCloud Backup, les dossiers critiques de votre PC ou Mac sont sauvegardés automatiquement. Les fichiers sont synchronisés en temps réel sur tous vos appareils, quel que soit l’écosystème.

Collaboration simple et efficace

Partage de liens, invitations de dossiers, demandes d’archives… la collaboration fonctionne même si vos interlocuteurs n’utilisent pas pCloud.

pCloud Photos : galerie intelligente pour vos souvenirs

L’une des principales nouveautés 2025, c’est pCloud Photos. Ce nouveau service transforme votre stockage en galerie chronologique intelligente.

On retrouve des fonctionnalités comme :

• tri automatique par année et navigation fluide ;
• exclusion de dossiers pour personnaliser votre galerie ;
• accès instantané à toutes vos images, quel que soit l’appareil.

C’est une alternative intéressante et crédible à Google Photos pour ceux qui veulent garder le contrôle sur leurs données.

Éditeur de photos intégré : le cloud devient studio

Plus besoin de passer par une appli pour quelques retouches. L’éditeur natif permet :

• 8 filtres en un clic (Vibrant, Vintage, Duotone, etc.) ;
• réglages fins de luminosité, contraste ou des ombres ;
• recadrage, rotation, retournement d’image ;
• aperçu en temps réel.

Tout est intégré au cloud, sans installation supplémentaire !

pCloud Encryption : le coffre-fort suisse

Le chiffrement côté client, avec politique zéro-connaissance, reste un des points forts de pCloud.
En clair :

• vos fichiers sont chiffrés avant d’être envoyés ;
• les clés restent sur votre appareil ;
• même pCloud ne peut pas accéder à vos données.

C’est un argument solide pour ceux qui sont soucieux pour leurs données : particulier, professionnel, créateur…  toute personne manipulant du contenu sensible.

pCloud Pass : un gestionnaire de mots de passe complet

Inclus dans le pack 3-en-1, pCloud Pass sécurise tous vos identifiants avec :

• génération de mots de passe robustes ;
• remplissage automatique ;
• synchronisation sur tous vos appareils ;
• chiffrement entièrement sécurisé.

De quoi remplacer LastPass ou 1Password sans abonnement annuel.

Offre rare pour sécuriser votre vie numérique

Le modèle à vie de pCloud est souvent présenté comme l’un des meilleurs rapports qualité-prix du marché du cloud, surtout pour ceux qui veulent s’affranchir des mensualités. Cette année, le pack 3-en-1 à -60 % est clairement l’offre la plus agressive : stockage important, chiffrement local et gestion des mots de passe… le tout à vie.

Si vous cherchiez :

• un cloud sécurisé basé en Suisse,
• une galerie photo alternative sans surveillance intrusive,
• un coffre-fort numérique vraiment privé,
• un moyen de réduire durablement vos dépenses numériques,

alors le Black Friday 2025 de pCloud mérite clairement une place en haut de votre liste. Une fois expirée, les prix reviennent à leur niveau habituel (sans garantie de revoir une réduction équivalente).

Synology NAS Deals this Black Friday 2025

Black Friday 2025 has brought a round of uncommon discounts to Synology’s latest DiskStation models, with Amazon and B&H offering some of the strongest reductions across the current lineup. Synology hardware rarely receives notable price cuts, particularly on recently launched systems, so this is a useful opportunity for anyone planning an upgrade or expanding their storage. Whether you need a reliable home backup platform, a media server, or a compact office solution, several 2025 generation units are now available at lower prices. This guide outlines the best deals currently live and helps identify which DiskStation models offer the most value during this year’s Black Friday period.

Important note: Some users may have heard that Synology’s 2025 generation DiskStation models restrict the use of non-Synology hard drives. This was true earlier in the year, but Synology reversed the policy in October 2025. Current DiskStation units in this lineup now accept third-party HDDs from any manufacturer with no warnings or reduced functionality. However, M.2 NVMe SSD support remains limited to approved models, and the HDD restrictions still apply to RackStation systems and higher tier products in the broader Synology portfolio.

iXsystems a mis en ligne la nouvelle version TrueNAS 25.10 (nom de code Goldeye). Cette dernière vient renforcer les performances, simplifie la gestion et ouvre la voie au stockage de très haut niveau. Goldeye est clairement conçu pour les environnements exigeants, tout en restant accessible.

TrueNAS 25.10

Après une phase Beta d’environ 40 jours, iXsystems annonce l’arrivée de la version finale de TrueNAS 25.10.

NVMe over Fabric : la vitesse mise à distance

L’un des points forts de Goldeye, c’est l’intégration de NVMe-oF (NVMe over Fabric), qui permet de traiter du stockage distant comme s’il était local. TrueNAS propose deux modes :

• NVMe/TCP (disponible dans la version Community) fonctionne sur des réseaux Ethernet classiques et offre des débits très élevés ;
• NVMe/RDMA (réservé aux éditions Enterprise) permet un transfert mémoire à mémoire (bypass CPU), pour une latence ultra-faible, idéal pour des workloads comme l’IA, la base de données ou la virtualisation critique.

OpenZFS 2.3.4 : efficacité et performances prévisibles

Goldeye embarque OpenZFS 2.3.4, avec des optimisations importantes :

• L’algorithme d’allocation des pools ZFS a été amélioré pour répartir les données plus efficacement, ce qui réduit la latence et rend les performances d’écriture plus constantes ;
• Le clonage de blocs est étendu à davantage de scénarios, ce qui améliore la réduction de données ;
• L’ARC (cache ZFS) prend désormais la taille non compressée des données en cache, pour mieux refléter les gains réels d’espace.

Capacité matérielle renforcée

TrueNAS Enterprise (les NAS maison d’iXsystems) gagne en puissance :

• La série F (flash hautes performances) peut désormais gérer jusqu’à 20 Po de NVMe ;
• La série M, dédiée à l’archivage, monte jusqu’à 40 Po pour les données froides ;
• Le support des cartes réseau 400 Gb/s (Terabit Ethernet) est intégré, ouvrant la voie à des réseaux ultra haut débit.

Une API modernisée et versionnée

Avec Goldeye, TrueNAS passe à une API JSON-RPC 2.0 sur WebSocket, beaucoup plus rapide que l’ancienne API REST. Cette API est versionnée, ce qui garantit des intégrations tierces plus stables au fil des mises à jour.

Des plugins sont déjà en cours de développement pour Kubernetes, VMware vSphere, Proxmox VE… La doc de l’API est disponible sur api.truenas.com.

Gestion plus simple des mises à jour

TrueNAS 25.10 introduit également un système de profils de mise à jour : Early Adopter, General, Mission Critical, Developer. Chaque profil correspond à un niveau de tolérance au risque.

Une interface Web plus fluide

L’interface utilisateur Web de TrueNAS gagne en ergonomie :

• Le guide iSCSI est repensé pour être plus simple et rapide ;
• L’éditeur YAML pour les Apps est amélioré (meilleure validation, syntaxe, confort d’édition) ;
• Les tableaux de bord de statistiques deviennent plus réactifs, les graphiques plus dynamiques ;
• La page “Utilisateurs” est repensée, avec des rôles prédéfinis pour simplifier la création et la gestion des comptes.

TrueNAS Connect : un centre de contrôle cloud

Goldeye active la plateforme TrueNAS Connect, un panneau de gestion Web :

• Monitorage en temps réel, alertes personnalisables et inventaire des systèmes ;
• Installer un TrueNAS depuis un navigateur devient possible, sans passer par un clavier physique : l’installation est guidée, sécurisée, et simplifiée ;
• Jusqu’au 1er décembre 2025, la version préliminaire de TrueNAS Connect est gratuite pour les utilisateurs Community.

Virtualisation : TrueNAS comme hyperviseur de données

Dans Goldeye, l’interface “Machines Virtuelles” est séparée de celle des “Conteneurs”, pour une meilleure clarté. On bascule sur le KVM (Hyperviseur Virtualisation), très robuste et déjà utilisé dans des environnements cloud majeurs. TrueNAS prend désormais en charge les machines virtuelles avec haute disponibilité (HA) sur les appliances Enterprise. Il est aussi possible d’importer/exporter de disques VM : formats VMDK (VMware), QCOW2, RAW, VDI…

Compatibilité GPU et matériel

TrueNAS 25.10 utilise des modules NVIDIA open source (driver 570.172.08), ce qui lui permet de supporter les cartes Blackwell (séries RTX 50 et PRO). Cette évolution signale l’abandon de certaines générations plus anciennes de GPU, notamment certaines GTX non compatibles.

En synthèse

Avec TrueNAS 25.10 “Goldeye”, iXsystems propose un savant mélange d’innovation technologique et de maturité logicielle. L’arrivée de NVMe-oF, la modernisation de l’API, l’interface web plus fluide et la gestion via TrueNAS Connect posent un jalon déterminant pour les infrastructures de stockage modernes. Que vous soyez en Community (version gratuite) ou Enterprise, Goldeye offre des outils puissants pour tirer pleinement parti de vos ressources, avec une ambition claire : faire de TrueNAS bien plus qu’un simple NAS, mais un véritable hyperviseur de données, centralisé, performant et évolutif. Vous pouvez télécharger gratuitement TrueNAS 25.10 sur la page officielle.

À noter que TrueNAS Goldeye ne séduit plus seulement les passionnés du DIY. Certains fabricants de NAS historique annoncent désormais explicitement la compatibilité de leurs boîtiers réseau avec cette version, ce qui montre à quel point 25.10 gagne en légitimité dans l’industrie.

Best UniFi Black Friday Deals – The UniFi Dream Router 7 & Gateway Fiber

The Dream Router 7 and the Gateway Fiber stand out as UniFi’s strongest Black Friday 2025 offers, especially given their large price cuts. The Dream Router 7 drops to $229 from $279 and brings a full UniFi controller, WiFi 7, a 10G SFP+ WAN port, a 2.5GbE WAN port, four LAN ports with one PoE output, and integrated NVR storage via microSD.

---

It suits high traffic office floors, learning environments, and large public areas where stable throughput under load matters more than peak bandwidth.

At the top of the lineup, the U6 Enterprise In Wall receives one of the most meaningful reductions with a new price of $199. This model offers WiFi 6E across the 6GHz, 5GHz, and 2.4GHz bands with 10 spatial streams, up to 4.8Gbps on both 6GHz and 5GHz, and support for more than 600 clients. Its built in 4 port GbE switch with PoE output makes it ideal for structured office installs where wall mounted APs double as room level network hubs for desks, phones, or small devices. Fast roaming, RRM, PPSK, RadSec, and advanced portal features place it firmly in the high density business category. Together, these six discounted APs span entry level to enterprise grade coverage and represent UniFi’s strongest Black Friday wireless lineup in several years.

UniFi Network Switch Black Friday Deals

The Enterprise 24 PoE, Enterprise 8 PoE, and Enterprise 48 PoE make up UniFi’s discounted Layer 3 switching lineup for Black Friday 2025 and each model targets a different level of deployment. The Enterprise 24 PoE drops from $799 to $599 and delivers twelve 1GbE PoE+ ports, twelve 2.5GbE PoE+ ports, two 10G SFP+ uplinks, 400W of PoE power, and a 124Gbps switching fabric in a 1U rack chassis.

UniFi Cameras for Protect Black Friday Deals

The G5 Pro, AI 360, and G5 PTZ form the front end of UniFi’s discounted camera lineup for Black Friday 2025 and each model targets a different style of coverage. The G5 Pro drops from $379 to $199 and delivers 4K recording with a 3x optical zoom lens, strong daytime clarity, and IR night vision that reaches 25 m or up to 40 m with the Vision Enhancer. It offers people, vehicle, and animal detection, IP65 weather resistance, IK04 impact resistance, and flexible mounting for walls, ceilings, and poles. The AI 360 is reduced from $399 to $249 and provides full 360 degree coverage through a 2K fisheye sensor with pan tilt zoom control handled digitally inside UniFi Protect. It includes two way audio, smart detections, IPX4 weather resistance when covered, and IK08 tamper protection, making it suitable for wide indoor areas, retail spaces, or open office floors.

The AI Pro and AI Dome represent the next tier with stronger AI capability and extended detection performance. The AI Pro is discounted from $499 to $359 and delivers 4K resolution, 3x optical zoom, face recognition, license plate recognition, advanced object detection, and up to 40 m IR performance with the Vision Enhancer. It includes two way audio, HDR processing, IP65 weather resistance, and a flexible mounting system for ceilings, walls, and poles. Its 1/1.8 inch 8MP sensor provides higher accuracy in mixed lighting, which makes it suitable for entrances, car parks, or areas requiring reliable plate and face capture. The AI Dome is now $299 instead of $399 and features a vandal resistant IK10 enclosure paired with 4K recording, long range IR up to 40 m, and the same AI recognition capabilities found in the AI Pro. Its dome design suits indoor or sheltered outdoor locations where tamper protection and a clean profile matter.

Across the lineup, every model supports PoE power, onboard image adjustment controls, UniFi smart detections, and full Protect integration with consistent 30 FPS recording. The G5 series offers strong value for users upgrading older 1080p or 2K cameras, while the AI series adds more precise analytics and improved low light performance. The combination of significant price cuts and a wide range of coverage types means this group forms one of the strongest Black Friday camera selections UniFi has presented, covering everything from broad area surveillance to focused zoom capture and high security environments.

Asustor vient d’officialiser l’arrivée de 2 nouveaux NAS d’entrée de gamme : les AS1202T et AS1204T (nouvelle série Drivestor Gen2). Au programme, nous avons un processeur ARM Quad Core plus performant, un port réseau 2,5 GbE, le décodage matériel 4K et une connectique modernisée. Le tout à un tarif très agressif débutant à 216 €…

ASUSTOR AS1202T et AS1204T

Austor nous revient avec une nouvelle série : Drivestor Gen 2. Derrière ce nom se cache 2 nouveaux produits AS1202T et AS1204T, respectivement de 2 et 4 baies. Les boitiers sont animés par un processeur Quad Core Realtek RTD1619B cadencé à 1,7 GHz. Pour la mémoire vive, les NAS sont équipé de 1 Go en DDR4 non extensible… c’est regrettable en 2025 pour des machines destinées au multitâche en 2025.

Selon le fabricant, cette architecture dispose d’un iGPU capable de décoder et de diffuser des contenus 4K, notamment en H.264 et AV1… grâce à l’application maison LooksGood. Cela permettrait un streaming fluide depuis le NAS, sans transcodage logiciel lourd.

Connectique

Asustor modernise (enfin) son entrée de gamme avec un port réseau 2,5 Gb/s. Sur un réseau compatible, le fabricant indique qu’il est possible d’atteindre jusqu’à 266 Mo/s en lecture et 160 Mo/s en écriture. Chaque boitier propose également 3 ports USB 3.0 (dont 1 à l’avant).

Positionnement

La série Drivestor Gen2 reste clairement positionnée sur l’entrée de gamme. Par rapport à la génération précédente, l’utilisateur bénéficiera d’un processeur  (meilleure prise en charge vidéo) et d’une prise réseau 2,5 Gb/s. Si on les compare aux Lockerstor, cette série reste loin derrière en termes de puissance CPU, RAM et capacité dans l’ensemble.

Prix et disponibilité

Les 2 modèles arriveront très prochainement selon Asustor. Les prix publics recommandés sont :

• AS1202T : 216€
• AS1204T : 298€

Cela reste de bonnes options pour ceux qui recherche un premier NAS avec un budget serré.

NAS & Storage Bargains and Deals this Black Friday 2025

Black Friday 2025 has arrived and this year the spotlight is not only on traditional Synology/QNAP upgrades but also on the fast-growing world of alternative NAS platforms (after the PR nightmare that was 2025 for Synology re:HDDs!), DIY server builds, and software licence promos. Synology’s desktop lineup has seen a bunch of refreshes recently in the x25, which means popular models such as the DS423+ and DS923+ may finally see meaningful reductions, while entry-level units like the DS223 and BeeStation series are expected to feature the most aggressive pricing. At the same time, UGREEN is pushing hard with its NASync range and making ALOT of noise in the world of home/prosumer NAS, and several of these systems are already appearing with early Black Friday discounts. DIY NAS enthusiasts also have more choice than ever, with multi-bay chassis and compact servers from CWWK, AOOSTAR, Jonsbo cases, and Minisforum’s N5 receiving notable reductions. UnRAID has confirmed incoming licence promos for Black Friday soon, making it an ideal time for new users to adopt flexible array management and VM workloads. Then you have Terramaster making 10-20% off promos on their 2025 series AND the m.2 focused F4 and F8 Devices! Even newer entrants such as UnifyDrive are participating, with the UT2 receiving one of its biggest discounts to date and now sitting in an extremely competitive price bracket. Below you will find updated recommendations for the best NAS models for backups, Plex, business, and surveillance, along with live offer links for all major NAS ecosystems as Black Friday deals continue to roll out.

IMPORTANT – This page will be updated regularly each day for the next 2 weeks!

Hot Tips when you Buy a NAS this Black Friday 2024

In order for you to get the very best NAS deals this Black Friday, here are some hot tips that I have personally used for the last few years to get the very best deals.

Amazon Warehouse Deals are 20% lower

For those that aren’t aware, Amazon has a whole section of their website that is dedicated to pre-owned and opened items. This includes both NAS, hard drives, SSD and more for your storage. During Amazon Black Friday 2024, the discount on these broken-seal items will be increased by an additional 20% and for those looking for an insane bargain, this will be irresistible.

Another tip when buying NAS or Hard Drives from Amazon Warehouse is that although (as they are broken seal/used/returned items) they have a shorter warranty from Amazon, you will almost certainly be able to claim the FULL warranty coverage from Synology, QNAP, WD or Seagate. They just want your serial number and a receipt of purchase – this will not state the amazon reduced warranty.

Amazon Warehouse for different countries can be found below:

 

Amazon Warehouse USA

Amazon Warehouse UK

Amazon Warehouse Germany

Latest Deals Update and Notifications

If you want to make sure you see the LATEST Black Friday deals for NAS (as new ones are added every hour) then I would recommend checking the official Amazon Prime page regularly. It will also include the very latest Lightning Deals too

US Amazon – Amazon Deals Page

UK Amazon – Amazon Deals Page

Amazon Prime for FREE

The prices listed on Amazon for NAS during the Black Friday event are only available to Prime members. If you are not a member, don’t worry, as you can use the 30-Day free trial to sign up for a Prime, or just pay for 1 month of Prime as a student and get it at 50% off. Then after you finish your purchase, you can cancel your subscription. The other bonus of this is that you will qualify for fast, next day delivery for free. I would recommend however that you do not cancel your subscription until you have received your order and tested your item.

As then you will still be able to take advantage of the fast and free return policy extended to Prime members. This is especially useful when buying NAS Hard Drives and you are worried about broken drives!

Improved Delivery on your NAS Black Friday Deal

It is a well-known fact that Amazon Prime membership includes free next day delivery and Amazon has even upped the stakes by stating that they will be providing the fastest-ever Black Friday delivery of just 14 minutes between the cart and the courier, last year we saw and heard numerous examples of delivery issues with Black Friday deals, adding 2-3 days on supposed next-day shipping.

If any of your Amazon Prime delivery dates are not the 24 hours turn around that they promise, then definitely complain to Amazon after you receive your goods (not before) as they will almost certainly have a deluge of customer enquiries after Black Friday 2024 and  in an effort to conclude the matter, you might get an additional discount, a gift vouchers or more. Currently, the trending ‘gesture of goodwill’ gift is a free month of Prime membership.

Who Are IceWhale, Is ZimaOS a Legitimate NAS Software Player, and Are They Ready? An Interview with Lauren Pan, IceWhale CEO

IceWhale is one of the youngest companies in the self-hosting space, yet its operating system, ZimaOS, has rapidly become one of the most discussed alternatives to established NAS platforms. Built on an immutable Linux foundation with a strong emphasis on user experience, ZimaOS aims to combine the approachability of turnkey systems with the flexibility of DIY hardware. Behind that vision is Lauren Pan, the founder and CEO of IceWhale, whose team previously created CasaOS and later shifted focus to a more scalable and controlled platform in ZimaOS. Now that the brand has begun it’s roll out of it’s $29 lifetime license, it has now become apparent that this plucky start up needs to be taken alot more seriously, as well as be weighed critically in the same way other long-established NAS software platforms are.

So, during a recent visit to Shenzhen, I sat down with Lauren for an extended conversation about the origins of ZimaOS, the challenges of building a modern NAS operating system, the company’s rapid growth, and how the wider NAS industry is being reshaped by new players, security expectations, and AI-driven workloads. This interview captures his perspective on product design, community involvement, security, the evolution of the market, and IceWhale’s long-term ambition to bring personal servers into everyday households.

---

When you began building the operating system back in 2021 with a very small founding team, what were those early days like and what were you aiming to create?

In 2021 the early team was only four members. I found our final CTO at that time, and we started to build the official design. At the beginning we were passionate and wanted to build a comprehensive, robust and customizable operating system for home lab users and tech-savvy people. But after three months, when we reviewed our progress, it was terrible. Even in the early stages you could tell there was something there because it was so light. That lightness was the biggest appeal for many people.  If you didn’t know what you were doing it was a great gateway into experimentation and learning. For people who did know what they were doing, the lightweight design made it flexible. In the first three months we honestly didn’t know exactly what we were building. We pivoted fast. We spent about a month researching Reddit, watching community videos including yours, and we realised people needed a lightweight, easy-to-use command line to set up a home server. That’s where the idea for CasaOS came from.

Fast-growing and successful products come from very sharp product insight. After that insight, the next phase is delivering high quality and building a good reputation through community feedback. This is core to our product methodology.
When we target a feature or user value, we don’t immediately invest heavy development resources. Instead, we speak with community members, moderators, and creators like you. We learn, and listen to how you see things, and watch user experience live on screen.

---

How big is the IceWhale team today?

Right now we have 35 members. Recently, because ZimaOS has been growing so fast, the operational pressure is high. Our downloads and user base are increasing quickly. So in the coming months we plan to expand the team to around 50 people. The purpose is to continue delivering high-quality support to the community. Our download numbers and user base are growing very fast, and that creates a lot of operational pressure. That is why we are expanding the team significantly. Supporting the community with high-quality responses is one of our top priorities, and growth in the next few months is focused on providing that support.

---

Why create ZimaOS when CasaOS already existed?

There are two main reasons. First, product direction. CasaOS is very open and we maintained it for more than two years with no license and free global access. However, as the process continued, we gradually realized that relying solely on the existing system architecture could no longer fully meet future requirements in terms of performance, scalability, and stability.. After deep internal discussion, we decided to build the OS from scratch rather than using Debian or mergerFS. This way, we can fully control quality and stability at the infrastructure layer. In 2023 we studied Home Assistant, Raspbian, and best practices in Linux. We built ZimaOS from the buildroot foundation, choosing our own kernel packages and implementing an immutable design. Users cannot modify system files because we focus on stability for daily use. But since many users still want to tinker, we layered Docker Compose on top.

Second, business sustainability. CasaOS used Apache 2.0 licensing because at that time no Chinese company was building a home server OS. We benefited hugely from open-source, so we needed to give back. But some companies began using CasaOS to build their own commercial products. To create a sustainable business cycle we needed a platform we could fully control, and that became ZimaOS.

---

What is IceWhale doing to handle vulnerabilities responsibly?

We rely on GitHub and created a CVE reporting program. We announced it to the community, and anyone can report security issues. Internally, our development team handles these reports through a structured process. Every Monday we review all community feedback, including security issues, reliability problems, and feature requests. In the last two weeks, especially after your video, installations increased rapidly and so did feedback.

---

Would you consider a security bounty program?

We are considering it. We need to strengthen our internal capabilities first. Bounty programs can attract both ethical hackers and opportunistic users, but they also help prevent widespread damage. Also, we are still very early into our funding sustainability to commit to something this large.

---

A lot of people were surprised that ZimaOS is only 29 dollars for a lifetime license. How did you arrive at that price?

The pricing comes from the founding team’s expectations about the market. The NAS industry is still mostly limited to tech-savvy users, but we see a different future. We believe that in the next ten years everyone will have a personal or home server for daily use, home automation, and personal agents. If you evaluate the current NAS market at around one million users, then pricing at 300 dollars, like some competitors, makes sense because their investment is huge. But if you believe the market will grow far beyond that small base, then pricing it at 29 dollars makes much more sense. We think the market will not remain limited to only a few million users.

---

Crowdfunding from companies like UGREEN has shown how quickly the market can shift when a new player enters the market. Do you think that changed industry expectations towards Chinese products?

UGREEN is a great example. Before their launch I spoke with people at several major brands and many were not worried. They thought UGREEN had no experience and would go nowhere. Then they raised 6.5 million dollars and sold 12,000 units. That was a lot of market share disappearing very quickly. This has really opened the door to a shake-up of private server ownership. In videos, you’ve often talk about control, flexibility, and personal ownership of data. This is core to the philosophical foundation for ZimaOS. When people want to host something themselves, they need full control. I don’t want users to be limited by a specific brand. They should decide how to manage their data, how to customise their apps and services, and how to extend computing power with GPU or 10 GbE. That purpose is at the core of ZimaOS.

We learned from the community that people need flexibility. At the same time, learning technical skills is still hard, so we also provide complete products like ZimaBoard and ZimaCube. This means users can get started quickly if they want an out the box solution. The industry is changing. Traditional NAS brands may move into higher tiers and ignore the bottom tier. New players will reshape the value and mid-range segments. The market will expand, but many brands are not ready for rapid shifts like AI integration.

---

Would you consider adding surveillance features to ZimaOS?

Not yet. The surveillance market is very large and specialised. Right now we are focused on building a reliable core operating system.

---

Some New and Entry level users find the USB installation process or migration away from an existing NAS to ZimaOS the only difficult steps. How do you plan to address that? Would you consider pre-bootloader-ready USB sticks for retail? Or specific Synology-to-ZimaOS migration tool?

I agree. Installation is still the biggest barrier for beginners. We are considering better solutions, including pre-prepared media, streamlined installation tools, and future hardware that removes the need for external installation completely. Making that first step easier is important. The idea of a installation-ready official USB with the license ready loaded makes alot of sense, and definitely something we can consider and explore, thank you. With branded migration tools, that is another very good idea. Migration is one of the biggest concerns for users switching from turnkey NAS systems. A dedicated migration tool could completely open the door for them. We should do that.

---

Will CasaOS be retired any time soon?

No. We consider CasaOS our LTS version. We will continue fixing bugs and maintaining it. There is no CasaOS 2.0 planned at the moment. Its main advantage is ARM compatibility, which few other NAS operating systems support.

---

Will there be a new ZimaCube?

Yes. In the next three months we will upgrade ZimaCube to the M2 version and announce it soon. It’s an improvement, not ZimaCube 2.0, more like a plus model. It will replace the existing version entirely. The positioning of ZimaCube was right, but I don’t think we made the first generation good enough to compete with new market entrees. So we focused heavily on improving the details while keeping the price. However, ZimaCube priced between 600 and 1200 dollars is still too expensive for the broader market and entry level, so we are investigating internally a product called “Zima Mini” to target the two-bay and four-bay market. More on that in 2026.

---

Where do you want IceWhale and ZimaOS to be in five years?

Our vision is to serve more than 400 million households and bring a personal or home server to every family. In five years we want IceWhale to be positioned clearly as an operating system company rather than a hardware company. That has become very clear in the last two years.

---

What moment made you most proud in the IceWhale journey?

There was a moment two years ago, when CasaOS reached around ten thousand community members. In China many people don’t care much about privacy or self-hosting, so when I told local investors that I wanted to build a NAS and open-source OS, they didn’t understand why. They thought we didn’t need it. But when the GitHub project took off, when the Discord community grew, and when users started creating mods without ever speaking to us, I realised they understood exactly what we were building. They understood the vision even though I never explained it publicly. That moment validated everything. It reminded me why I founded the company.

Bonjour à tous,

J’’espère que vous allez bien ! Pour ma part, ça va plutôt bien. Depuis le dernier édito, j’ai pris quelques jours de repos (même s’ils me semblent déjà bien loin) et j’ai fait quelques petits travaux dans l’appartement. Côté boulot, les choses devraient s’améliorer dans les semaines à venir.

Mon dernier édito n’avait pas laissé certains d’entre vous indifférents. C’est toujours amusant de voir que certains ressentent un besoin incontrôlable d’y voir une conspiration ou une rémunération cachée dès qu’une personne donne son avis. Je le redis donc ici : non, je ne suis pas payé pour dire du bien d’une marque ou d’une autre. Oui, il existe des sponsors (les logos en haut à droite) qui financent une petite partie du site… mais, comme depuis le début, cela ne leur donne aucun privilège ni passe-droit. Lorsqu’il y a une contrepartie financière, vous aurez systématiquement la mention « article sponsorisé » (en haut et en bas de l’article).

Pour revenir à l’actualité des NAS, parlons rapidement des choix controversés de Synology. Lors d’un événement récent, j’ai échangé avec un grossiste spécialisé notamment dans les NAS. Il m’a indiqué que les ventes Synology n’avaient pas simplement ralenti… mais qu’elles étaient complètement à l’arrêt. Si l’on pouvait croire que cela concernait uniquement la dernière série, l’impact négatif touche en réalité toutes les gammes. Depuis, Synology a rétropédalé… il y a de fortes chances que vous aperceviez de jolies promotions dans les jours à venir Est-ce que les ventes vont repartir ?

Côté des Films, je n’ai rien vu depuis F1 que j’avais apprécié. Pour ce qui est des Séries TV, j’ai regardé Ballard qui est un spin-off de Bosch. Personnellement, je n’ai pas accroché. J’ai découvert (grâce à vous) Platonic, une série amusante même s’il y a quelques longueurs. Je recommande… mais, je ne suis pas certain de vouloir regarder la saison 2. Je viens de terminer Slow Horses (déjà la saison 5) et c’est toujours aussi savoureux. On en redemande !

Allez, je vous laisse… bonne semaine à tous,
FX
