Hi all,
I am looking at building my next NAS. My current will move to offsite, and the new will be primary. I previously used this motherboard, and was planning to go with that again. Then I saw this one, which seems like a better option. It has a slightly better CPU and a PCIe slot, but can only have 32GB memory max compared with 64GB max on my current.
Am I missing anything or is this a no-brainer to switch to the N100 board?
I wouldn’t buy hardware from Aliexpress as it has a bit of a reputation.
Anyway I would go with the N100 as it supports 3200MT/s memory.
Why do you need so much ram in your NAS?
May I ask why this mobo comes with CPU? I guess CPU can be replaced, but I cant find that one sold independently. I have no experience with this kind of hardware, but seems like it could be cheaper to buy MBO and CPU from local store. But again, im used to desktop components only (kind of), this one could be better value for $
