LincStation N2: drives disconnect under load. Unreliable.
I use the N2 with TrueNAS and four Samsung 990 PRO 4 TB SSDs. I have experienced repeated NVMe drive disconnections during rsync backups. On one occasion, two drives disconnected simultaneously. They only reappear after powering the NAS off and back on. The failures have consistently coincided with CPU-intensive processes and periods of high temperature. The CPU reaches approximately 95–100°C under sustained load. I have adjusted the fan settings in the BIOS and tried positioning the unit vertically, but the disconnections continue. I have not confirmed the exact cause. Under these conditions, I cannot trust this unit to compress files, run a virtual machine, or handle other CPU-intensive services reliably. Reliability is essential for a NAS. In my experience, this N2 does not provide the stability needed to trust it with my data and backups.
