Gnubee Personal Cloud 1: low-cost and low-power network-attached storage device
“The GnuBee Personal Cloud 1 (GB-PC1) is a network-attached storage (NAS) device specifically engineered to run free, libre, open source software (FLOSS). The GB-PC1 has all the functionality of any commercial, proprietary NAS, but at a much lower cost and with the transparency, reliability, and accessibility advantages that come with using FLOSS.”
GnuBee’s Crowd Supply page notes that the GB-PC1 can be used for a variety of applications in addition to NAS. Examples listed include using the device as a file, media, download, or web server, or for the remote hosting of private cloud services.
The GB-PC1’s software and hardware are fully open source, according to GnuBee.
The GB-PC1 is designed around MediaTek’s MT621A Dual-core Network Processor SoC, which is based on the MIPS1004Kc CPU architecture. The processor, which can be overclocked to 1.2GHz, is backed by 512MB of soldered-down DDR3 RAM. The board’s microSD slot has successfully been tested with up to 64GB cards.
Just remember that the GB-PC1 is not compatible with the more affordable — and generally higher capacity — 3.5-inch drives, but probably a Gnubee’s future version might be.
GB-PC1 specs:
- Processor — MediaTek MT7621A (includes 2x 880MHz MIPS1004Kc cores)
