Ever wonder if one box could do **everything** in your homelab? In this video, we take the **OPNNAS Slate Series** NAS (12 drive bays + 2 NVMe slots) for a wild test drive. We install **Proxmox** and **TrueNAS** on this heavy-duty unit to see if it truly is a homelab monster. Spoiler: we even tossed in a GPU for passthrough and it worked flawlessly! 🎉 From insane virtualization feats to blazing-fast storage benchmarks, this NAS handled it all without breaking a sweat. We’re talking **10GbE** network speeds maxed out (yes, full line-rate ~1.1GB/s transfers 😱) and smooth sailing with multiple VMs and Docker containers. The Slate NAS is **built like a tank** – you feel the solid steel and quality as soon as you lift it (your back might feel it too!). But that robust build and clever design mean **highly expandable** internals (plenty of PCIe slots for your GPUs, NICs, or other add-ons) and excellent cooling with whisper-quiet fans. Whether we ran a ZFS pool on TrueNAS or a cluster of VMs on Proxmox, the performance was consistently **top-tier**. We had a blast pushing this 12-bay beast to its limits. 😎 If you’re a fellow homelab enthusiast, you’ll appreciate the casual torture test we put this NAS through (all in the name of science, of course!).
