IceWhale Tech, the creators of the ZimaBoard, approached me to take a look at their ZimaBoard 832. In this video, I unbox the ZimaBoard and show 3 different use cases: a Linux desktop, TrueNAS server, and an OPNsense router. I also experimented with a 10G SFP+ card to see how much throughput the ZimaBoard can handle. I briefly mention my wishlist for the ZimaBoard "2.0" model should a newer model be produced. A wrriten version of this video can be found on my website: https://homenetworkguy.com/review/zimaboard-832/ Disclaimer: IceWhale Tech sponsored the ZimaBoard 832 but opinions are my own.
