Running AI on the 45HomeLab X15 (Signature Series x Unraid)
Yes, it runs AI models on the NAS itself. Models run on its CPU cores, and this configuration leaves about 54.4 GB for them after the NAS system and its storage services. The grades below assume the NAS isn’t busy with backups or media work at the same time. More memory is the upgrade that matters most: see the configurations.

Estimates come from published hardware specs and our open formulas, not from running the model on your machine. Real speed varies with runtime, drivers and settings. Numbers marked “Measured” come from a linked benchmark.
