Intel NUC 10 NUC10I5FNHN Frost Canyon Mini Computer 10th Gen Core i5-10210U, 4 Cores, 8 Threads, 6MB Smart Cache, Iris Xe Graphics (NUC10I5FNHN 16GB+512GB)

The device I received is flawless. I received it really quick by USPS (some 4 days after black Friday day).

The full-sized SD card slot is non-functionally intermittent. I would have rather they stayed with the microSD slot.

Purchased to build a Roon Core. Threw in a 256gb SSD, 16GB RAM, 2TB HHD. BAM!!! Running a rock solid R.O.C.K. that saved me $2000 off Roon’s NUCleus Plus (which is the EXACT same thing).

Upgraded these bad boys to its full 64GB ram supported and added 1x SATA SSD + 1x NVMe. They boot off using a USB stick with VMware so I can leverage the full SSD + NVMe drives for the storage database.

Late to the party, but just fyi to fellow IT people: avoid these unless youll be running Linux or are using WSUS to block drivers. Literally with fresh installs of the latest--and I mean latest, Jan 2023, builds from my VS Pro subscription--Win10 Pro *and* Win11 Pro, and literally minutes after I allow windows update to kick in and start installing driver updates it becomes unbootable. And not just that, you cant reinstall windows via bootable USB without--I kid you not--reformatting the hard drive. Because either Windows Setup screws up or the BIOS screws up or... honestly, who knows.

I called both companies tech support about the hard drive light staying on constantly. The system loaded fine and ran fine but the hard drive light stays on...constantly. Crucials response was the system loaded fine with no errors after running their drive check software so it must be the others hardware. I switched out the Crucial drive with a Samsung and the light works correctly, which I told Crucial this when I called them but that didnt seem to make much of a difference to them. I tried the same Crucial drive/s in a NUC8i3BEH1 with the same result. So even though Intel didnt have a fix, it isnt their fault really, I will continue to buy them though I was a little disappointed with the support but these are trying times. The NUC10i7FNH1 is very very fast. Oh and I had updated the BIOS on both NUCs but still no happy ending.

Big disappointment with this one; cannot even get to the BIOS.

Its great. I use it for a Roon ROCK music device. Works like a charm, but boy the BIOS settings I needed to use to get it to boot from a USB and update the BIOS were a TOTAL pain. Legacy boot, yipes. But this is a solid machine - would happily make it my desktop - very powerful, chassis is a delight.

I loved everything about this device when I built it. its fast, small, efficient, everything I wanted. What I didnt think of before I ordered was Wi-Fi performance. The machine this replaced was a full size desktop with a PCI Wi-Fi card with an external antenna that had really good throughput/connectivity. This device doesnt even come close. There is a 3rd party that makes a replacement lid that has antennas, but theres no way Im doing this while the device is under warranty.

Unit booted one time and then failed to boot up or even POST (Post On Self Test). Amazon could not provide a replacement so I am waiting on a refund. After I receive the refund I will likely repurchase due to Amazon having this item in stock even though Amazon could not send a replacement.
