Multi-LAN NVMe Mini PC for NAS & Routing
Networking
A compact multi-LAN mini PC designed for combining NAS, routing and homelab workloads. Supports 4×2.5G LAN and 4×NVMe storage, enabling flexible network separation and high-performance storage in a single system. Ideal for edge computing, homelab setups and small office deployments.
Hey everyone 👋
I’ve been working on a compact multi-LAN + NVMe setup to simplify my NAS + router + homelab environment.
Instead of running separate devices, I wanted to explore whether a single mini PC could handle:
- routing / firewall (pfSense / OPNsense)
- NAS workloads
- container-based services
---
The key idea behind this setup is not raw performance, but structure:
- using multiple NICs for traffic separation (WAN / LAN / storage)
- using NVMe instead of SATA to reduce I/O bottlenecks
- keeping everything in a compact, low-power system
---
Some things I found interesting while testing:
- separating NAS traffic from LAN made a noticeable difference
- NVMe layout (OS / data / cache split) improves responsiveness
- thermal behavior becomes important under sustained workloads
---
I’ve shared more details (network design, deployment, performance, thermal observations) in the project.
---
Curious to hear from others:
- are you running similar multi-LAN setups?
- do you prefer VLAN or physical separation?
- any pitfalls when combining routing + storage on one system?
Would love to hear your thoughts 🙌
