Looks like a cool board for a NAS. I’ll probably still buy synology, because their software is good and maintenance is basically no effort.

It says it "is making the rounds" but googling for "MW-100-NAS" gets you no suppliers or prices. Or is that even the board's name? The specs look like something I could use for my project (I'd have to add a wireless networking option, though, but that's what the USB3 is good for).
The article has 3 links going to different sellers in AliExpress that have ~$130 list price. (I personally never gamble on AliExpress parts.)
Yea, AliExpress. I was looking for a more serious supplier.
I had guessed you wanted something better which is part of the reason I didn't share any links for AE. It was better to assume you missed the links, or something
When it comes to things like a NAS, I prefer hardware that has been on the market for at least a year, has plenty of reviews on YouTube, or, I could ask a question on Lemmy and at least one other person owns it and has experience with it.
Anecdotally, cheap hardware with key specs that appear great always come with a catch. In this case, I dunno what that catch is, but it's in there somewhere.
I would not need it for a NAS, I'm looking for a nice, handy machine to run Mosquitto and some scripts on. It would get an NVMe or two and a USB Wifi adapter and would span a network for my controllers. The controllers talk with the Mosquitto, and the scripts coordinate the controllers actions.
