via NewMediaWire – 45Drives, a leading provider of innovative
storage and virtualization solutions, is thrilled to announce the
launch of two new products under its 45HomeLab division. These
cutting-edge Mini PCs cater to homelab enthusiasts seeking premium,
Linux-based computing solutions.
In response to the prevalent dominance of proprietary
Windows-based client machines in the market, 45Drives saw an
opportunity to diversify options by introducing pre-built,
pre-engineered Linux-based machines. With a focus on superior
design, high-quality metal construction, optimized pre-installed
software, and North American manufacturing, these products promise
to set new standards in the industry.
"We wanted to bring our signature 45HomeLab touch to the market
- premium, high-quality machines backed by our unparalleled and
unwavering commitment to servicing and support excellence," said
Doug Milburn, co-founder and president of 45Drives.
The Home Client is a compact, single-board-computer-based device
featuring a pre-installed Linux operating system. With a footprint
of less than 7 inches and a fanless design, it offers quiet
operation and seamless integration into home environments. Ideal
for a variety of tasks, the Home Client is perfect for office work,
web-based applications, home entertainment, and more. Additionally,
it serves as an excellent secondary PC for tasks like home
