Product rating for Gigabyte Brix GB-BLPD-5005
Good price, small, light and quiet.
The barebone is good in itself and does what we need: PowerPoint and videos to present on a TV. It is very compact, light, quiet and the price is good.
I was also surprised that it came with a VESA mount. We screwed it onto our TV stand and it's very easy to mount or dismount the barebone. It is really convenient.
However, it says that maximum 8GB is supported, but I tested it with 16GB and it works. I don't know if it's stable because I currently have two barebones and only 2x8GB RAM on order. I just want to try it for a short time.
Now I give four instead of five stars, because
1. only power cables with Juko plugs and also for England were delivered. Digitec exchanges them for free, but that's really annoying if you have no other cable with you
2. a DVD with the drivers was delivered, but the computer has no DVD drive, so I find that pointless. Better nothing or else a USB stick.

Hi, quick question; was a SATA cable included with your order?
No, it comes without an operating system
Sorry, I answered the wrong question here. So, it also comes without a SATA cable
And how do you get such a small special SATA cable, there is no ordering option.
Here you can customise the search:

I no longer know how long the cable should be because I have installed an M2 SSD.Exactly such normal SATA cables do not work. They have built a special solution into the barebone. You can see it on the homepage and it is also described in the manual, here is the link to it

As I understand it, the cable with the SATA connection should already be installed ex works, otherwise the whole manual would be wrong.
Thanks again for your help.
The smallest cable in digitec has 10cm:

Apparently you have to set it up a bit with cable ties.Sorry, you're right, you need a special cable:

Unfortunately, I don't know if it's included because I don't have the device here. On the video, the cable does seem to be included.On a second video you can also see the cable:

So, apparently it's there. I installed it a long time ago, so I don't have it in my head.Yup, one is included everywhere.
I received my device here without a SATA cable, Digitec says there is none included.
We are now clarifying the situation, which is really strange.
