I replaced a $20,000 server with this

Description :

In this video, we show how we replaced a $20,000 portable NAS that was too heavy for traveling with a smaller, lighter machine built around the Minisforum MS‑01. We start by explaining the original portable storage setup we used for shows like CES and Computex, then walk through the new build’s networking, GPU, Mac Mini M4 integration, RAM, CPU repasting, and storage components. We demonstrate how to power on the system and set up TrueNAS, use a NanoKVM for remote management, and outline a backup plan for editing on the go. The video also covers how we ingest footage, why hotel Wi‑Fi can be unreliable in Vegas, how we send footage back to the office, and how we pack everything into a commuter bag.
