The MiniX PC, Any Good for Unraid?
I wanted to answer a question I get asked all the time:
Can Unraid actually run on a mini PC?
So I installed Unraid on the MiniX Neo Z97 and tested it as a small home lab and Docker-focused system. In this video, I’ll show you what works, what doesn’t, and whether running Unraid on a low-power mini PC actually makes sense.
This isn’t meant to replace a full Unraid server with multiple drives — but as a test system, lab box, or always-on services machine, the results might surprise you.
In this video, we cover:
• Use cases for the MiniX Neo Z97
• Features and Hardware
• NVMe-only storage considerations
• Docker and light VM performance
• Power efficiency and 24/7 use cases
• Who this setup is — and is not — for
If you’re experimenting with Unraid, building a homelab, or looking for a low-power always-on box, this setup is worth a look.
