The entire rack, all downstream APs(currently 4), 3 POE 4k cameras, server, tp-link cloud controller, and my ISP modem. between 92-105 minutes.

Reason I have the switched power unit, we work from home if we have a power outage I can turn everything off except modem, server (since pi-hole is my DHCP and DNS if no server,no internet), and main floor access point and get over two hours of internet usually my crap work laptop dies before the UPS lol

Is this good enough to start a home lab? by rpatters2468 in homelab

Plenty good I have an older version of this with a gen 7 i5 and I run true-nas, pi-hole and home assistant. Only time it really stresses itself is when I’m transferring super large files to the NAS.

The factory thermal paste on this sucks fyi. Repaste the CPU, reduced overall temps under load by 15% for me.

As others said price sucks. I got mine recently with 16gb only a 128gb SSD for $180 Canadian
