This particular model is now very popular in China, I just picked one up at CAD57. 4 bay, Intel J1900, 4GB ram, 16GB SSD (installed xpenology), 150w PSU. Not the most powerful, but good enough to be NAS. I am using Synology router and NAS already, so this can be a backup unit.



it comes with HDMI / VGA / USB3.0 / Gigalan port


sure there is some head room to upgrade in the future


I don't see the unit has been used before, built date was Jan 2019. The Zumax PSU only has 150w and doesn't seem to be very reliable.
Sounds like a cool home built NAS.
Are the drives hot swappable?
