Hello,
This is my 2nd mini PC named ACEPC T11,
This kind of solution is not widely used with OMV, and it is hard to find any feedback on such hardware.
Hardware = ACEPC T11 (110€)
Intel Atom x5-Z8350
GPU – Intel HD Graphics
No fan / no noise
RAM 4GB
28.81 GiB eMMC
2.5″ SATA bay (1 x 2.5inch HDD up to 2TB)
LAN:10/100M
Wifi Broadcom
Bluetooth: Version 4.0
USB port:1xUSB 3.0;3xUSB 2.0;1xMicro USB for OTG
Card reader: TF Card （up to 128GB)
HDMI Port :HDMI 2.0
Microphone audio: 3.5mm Microphone jack x1
VGA Port:VGA 1920*1080
Storage :
The SATA 2.5 slot is occupied by a "Crucial CT120BX500SSD1 SSD Interne BX500 (120Go, 3D NAND, SATA, 2,5 pouces)" (22€)
OS :
OMV 4.1.25 (without plugin) installed on the eMMC drive.
The installation of OMV v4.1.22 works fine but it requires later the "nomodeset" option with grub from the moment you unplug the screen.
The installation of OMV v5.0.5 freezes at the network configuration stage.
Fanless :
There is no fan into the mini PC which make it very silent, and the same for the drive which is a SSD.
Power consumption :
The power is measured with a "Perel E305EM6".
The idle power is much more bigger than what I get with the KODLIX GN41 but still satisfying for a PC architecture : 3.6 W (varying between 3.3 W and 3.8 W)
This is measured with default OMV settings, ethernet cable, no wifi, no screen, no mouse, no keyboard, SSD.
I believe that this value could be reduced to 2.4 W because I got that with OMV v4.1.24, at the moment I still don't know what is consuming an additional 1.2 W.
Moreover both Win10 1809 and Ubuntu 19.03 (mice + keyboard + HDMI signal + ethernet + no wifi) consume [2.8W / 3.3W]
Performance :
Not tested
Architecture : amd64
I wanted to avoid ARM hardware because I don't like the fact that there
is still no enumeration/discovery service. The day they provide that I
will think about ARM. Remark : On the opposite, the Bios of that mini PC
is shitty and don't expect any update on that side.
