Wonder if that m.2 slot could be used for a wifi card that supports wifi 6E provided that openwrt has drivers

[–] thomas@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

Anyone in the UK ordered or tried one of these yet?

Nice! I wish it had a USB port for setting up NAS, though.

[–] Spiralvortexisalie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Full specs:

  • 1GB DDR4 memory (onboard)
  • 256MiB SPI NAND Flash and 16 MiB SPI NOR flash storage
  • M.2 2242/2230 socket for PCIe Gen  2 x1 SSD (bring your own storage)
  • MediaTek MT7976C dual-band WiFi 6 support (2×2 2.4 GHz and 3×3 5 GHz)
  • 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A host port
  • 1 x USB Type-C (device, console)
  • RTC backup battery support
  • PoE support
  • MikroBUS socket for expansion modules

It has a USB port and an M2 NVME slot. As someone else noted, USB is usually considered a poor choice due to speed and reliability, so I would suggest nvme.

I'm a bit unfamiliar with NVME, I'll look into that maybe instead.

It doesn't have a lot of ram so it isn't great for a NAS. Better to use dedicated hardware

[–] thomas@feddit.uk 1 points 3 weeks ago

Using this as a NAS would be an odd choice indeed - it’s unequivocally a router.

Setting up NAS? Anything over USB is going to be slower than LAN, isn't it (which is still your bottleneck anyway)?
