ServeTheHome | This is a SUPER Homelab REVOLUTION Evolution! @ServeTheHomeVideo | Uploaded October 2023 | Updated October 2024, 7 minutes ago.
We take a look at the new 2x as fast, 2x memory, and 25GbE SUPER Pro 25GbE system we are calling the R86S Pro. This is a special #homelab node that features the Intel Core i3-N305 CPU, 32GB of memory, 128GB of onboard eMMC, more USB ports, and dual 25GbE onboard making it an enormous upgrade from what we called a homelab revolution last year. We tested this system in Proxmox VE, Ubuntu, pfSense, and OPNsense to see just how good of a virtualization host and firewall/ router this mini PC is.
