Lots of claims in here, but no specificity. I can tell WHAT they are selling: the hardware, or a software platform.
I'm also confused because they seem to missing the mark of what a useful piece of tech is for home users. Having everything all-in-one just compounds single points of failure. Also super confusing why they're mentioning LTE and Starlink into this...makes it seem pretty stupid.
Honestly, if you're just getting started, grab a cheap refurb from the Minisforum store, get a stack started and figure out what you actually, then make more informed decisions from there.
If you're planning on hosting a large media collection, you probably want a NAS, which can also double duty for the other things you want to do as well in most cases if it supports running containers.
Its a commercial product fundamentally. Looking at the company's site its clear this is an attempt to sell their commercial/enterprise "private cloud" node hardware to the general public but they've botched the marketing.
Medical and Transport are their core business, and they are a software-first company that has built a hardware solution for ready drop-in of their secure private cloud server software stack. https://www.nexalta.net/blog-news/11
Looking at NAS options is how I found this, I got suggested a few NAS kickstarters, but the hardware on this one seems to be superior over all. Too bad the documentation sucks.
I would steer clear of just getting something from Kickstarter. Just go for something solid with an existing community. Synology is good for beginners, or you could just build one and install the NAS OS of your choice like TrueNAS or OMV.
