Summary and conclusion
Thanks to the removable inner part, it is quite easy to build in this ITX case, although it is really very compact when assembled. I have already talked about the perceived value due to the weight, but especially after it has been filled with hardware, you really have quite a “clunker” here. About 4kg due to the case and then all the hard drives, that adds up to quite a bit.
After commissioning, I transferred data to the NAS for almost 30 hours continuously, so the four installed hard drives had a lot to do. The large 140mm fan in the front can either be connected to the PCB for the hard drives, from where it is then permanently supplied with 12V, or like me simply to the motherboard. Below 50% speed, the fan is practically inaudible and still all hard drives and also the CPU’s passive heat sink were sufficiently supplied with fresh air. Shortly before the end of the data transfer, the two inner hard disks reported 49°C, the two outer ones were a bit cooler at 46°C.
There is not much competition in the niche of compact DIY NAS cases, a direct alternative would actually only be the Fractal Design Node 304. This is a bit cheaper and can hold up to 6x 3.5″ hard drives, but is again significantly larger. On the other hand, a completely finished NAS with 5 bays is already around 400€. So, in a way, we have a “unicorn” in front of us here, where you have to know exactly why you should buy it. However, if you are looking for a really very compact case for a NAS, there are hardly any alternatives. It is up to the user to decide whether the Jonsbo N1 is worth the price.
I, for one, like it and am looking forward to the successor N2.
