Hello,
I’m a complete beginner and have installed Zima OS on a mini PC. Unfortunately, it only supports two internal hard drives. However, I’ve connected two 1 TB external USB hard drives. I’d like to set up a RAID 1 system, but unfortunately that doesn’t work. I’m also missing a Linux client. As soon as these features become available, I’ll purchase the paid version right away.
Or are there ways to make this work right now?
I think the system is brilliant as a home server. Finally free from US online storage.
Thank you very much for this

Can you expand on what you mean with “But unfortunatley that doesn’t work”? Do you get any specific errors?
I haven’t tried my self yet but I’ll try out now at the same time.
Edit:
Well, I plugged in two usb-drives, they show up on the dashboard but when I press “manage”, nothing shows up - is it the same for you?
After some searching the forum, seems like USB drives aren’t supported yet..
Hello,
Thank you for the quick response.
Access to the USB hard drives is possible even from an external device, at least on Windows. I’ll make do with some synchronization software.
Is an official Linux client planned?
I’ve only had the system for a week, but so far I’m thrilled with how easy it was to set up and share files externally using ZimaOs.
Thank you very much for that.
- We will support creating RAID using USB in the next version, and we hope you will be able to experience it.
- Our amazing community developers recently created a Linux client, and we hope you can try it out and give us some feedback. GitHub - astralcynsm/ZimaClient-Linux: a small network management tool based on ZeroTier, Wails and Samba · GitHub
Ok, i will try the Linux client and wait for the next version.
Thanks very much
