Bubba measures only 11.5 x 4.5 x 18.5 cm (4.5 x 1.8 x 7 inches), that is as small as a paperback. The matte black finish design blends in easily in any environment.
It is also without fans, making it probably the most silent NAS server available. The SSD version really is completely silent (0.0 dB), while the rotating disk versions are about 20-22 dB, about the sound of a whisper. This since we always assemble the most silent disks available.
The fanless design has been made possible using cutting edge thermal material, transporting hard drive's heat to the solid aluminum casing.
Now to the really fun part, at least for some of us. Bubba Two is based on Linux and Debian, and is essentially a full Linux computer. This increases the possibilities:
And do not worry about breaking anything, a total re-install to factory state is done using a USB memory. Hence, Bubba is an excellent machine to test and learn with.
Bubba Two with 1 TB disk uses about 7W of power. This can be compared to a bedside lamp, using something like 25W, or a personal computer, using about 80W with the monitor turned off. Hence; changing your PC server to a Bubba 2 actually saves you in the range of 100 EUR every year on the electricity bill alone. Translated to CO2 emissions, this is more than 300 kg CO2 saved every year.
