Our take on the ZimaBoard 2
The ZimaBoard 2 is a slim single-board server built around an Intel N150 quad-core chip, up to 16GB of LPDDR5X memory and dual 2.5G Ethernet. It runs ZimaOS out of the box and adds two SATA 3.0 ports, a PCIe 3.0 slot and 64GB eMMC, so it works as a small NAS, router or home lab node. It is far more expandable than a Raspberry Pi, though it costs more and its N150 is modest next to full mini-PC CPUs. It suits tinkerers who want x86 software compatibility and low power draw in a pocket-sized box.
- x86 Intel N150 runs standard Linux and Docker images without ARM workarounds
- Dual 2.5G Ethernet is rare at this size
- Two SATA ports plus PCIe 3.0 give real storage and add-in card options
- Up to 16GB LPDDR5X memory handles several containers at once
- Fanless, 17mm-thin aluminum body fits almost anywhere
- ZimaOS preinstalled gets a server running quickly
- N150 is a low-power chip; heavy transcoding or VMs will struggle
- Memory is soldered, so buy the capacity you need up front
- Only 64GB eMMC onboard; storage costs extra
- Two SATA drives means no RAID beyond mirroring
- Mini DisplayPort output needs an adapter for most monitors

What reviewers say
Owners treat the ZimaBoard 2 as a tidy, low-power x86 server that is easy to set up with ZimaOS. They like the dual 2.5G networking and SATA ports for the size, and accept the N150 as a trade-off for silence and efficiency.
- PerformanceMixedOwners say the N150 handles containers and file serving well but strains under VMs or transcoding.
- NetworkingPraisedDual 2.5G Ethernet is called out as a standout for a board this small.
- SetupPraisedZimaOS preinstalled makes first boot and basic server setup quick.
- MemoryCriticisedSoldered LPDDR5X means buyers must choose capacity at purchase with no upgrade path.
- StorageMixedTwo SATA ports are welcome, but the 64GB eMMC is small and drives add cost.

Questions and answers
- Is the ZimaBoard 2 good for a beginner home server?
- Yes. ZimaOS comes preinstalled, so you can boot it and start adding storage and apps without installing an OS. It is a gentler start than a bare Raspberry Pi.
- Can it run Plex or Jellyfin with transcoding?
- It can run both, and the N150 has Quick Sync for hardware transcoding. Expect it to handle a few 1080p streams, not heavy 4K transcoding alongside other workloads.
- How many drives can I attach?
- It has two SATA 3.0 ports plus the 64GB eMMC for the system. The PCIe 3.0 slot can add an HBA or network card if you need more.
- Can I upgrade the memory later?
- No. Memory is soldered LPDDR5X, so pick 8GB or 16GB at purchase based on how many services you plan to run.
- Does it work as a router or firewall?
- Yes. Dual 2.5G Ethernet makes it a common choice for pfSense, OPNsense or OpenWrt builds, though you supply the software.
- What comes in the box?
- The board itself with ZimaOS installed, plus a power supply and basic cabling. Drives, SATA cables for your own disks and a Mini DisplayPort adapter are not included.
- Where is the ZimaBoard 2 cheapest?
- At eBay, for $350.00, as of our latest check.
