I love my DIY start9, but umbrel sent me one of their units and I've been playing around with it. Also a great option from what I've seen!

I built my own Raspberry Pi 5, 4TB SDR204 delivering peak sequential read speeds of over 85 MB/s, and 8GB SDRAM and running UmbrelOS 1.5. It is a super fast and effective beast that handles everything I could throw at ot, for a fraction of start9 pricing.
the umbrel OS is awesome, they are onto something for sure
