I’ve been putting off building a new NAS for (going on) 3 years now. Power draw was a concern since I’ve been trying to downsize and become more efficient with each refresh cycle. This looks really promising, and I love that it has two 2.5 Gb ethernet ports on board.

The Realtek one might be only 1gbit, but I agree it doesn’t really matter.
If you order one let me know how it goes as I am also mildly interested, but for now I don’t really need it.

Will do!
I’m still trying to decide if I want to build a pure NAS with a board like this or go for something more powerful that can also handle transcoding and run my media server. Currently, I’m about 60% in favor of a pure, lower power NAS and keeping my media server separate as is my current configuration.
I really do need to make a decision soon, lol, as I’m very close to capacity on my current storage.

I want something like this with a sas HBA and a slot for a GPU

Why GPU? Just get an Intel CPU with quick sync.

This board already comes with a pretty weak celeron CPU and I’m pretty sure it’s soldered on.

Give me full ATX with 15 sata ports and I would bite. 10 HDD and 5 caching ssds. I would prefer full axt because with that many drives I would need a full case so might as well use a full board.

You are never going to get 15 Sata on a board. Just get HBA card in PCIe.

Few years ago I had a board with 10, can’t find any boards with that many anymore. Ended up with one with 8 plus two expansion cards to get me to the 13 drives I have currently with 3 spare for future expansion. Replacing my old 4TB drives with 12TB drives as my media hoard expands. Upgrade feature of radarr has been a blight on my storage. 😀
