Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Six SATA bays plus four M.2 NVMe slots for hybrid HDD and all-flash caching setups
  • ✓ Intel Celeron N5105 quad-core handles Docker, virtualization and 24/7 streaming
  • ✓ Dual 2.5GbE ports move files well past standard Gigabit NAS ceilings
  • ✓ 8GB DDR4 included, expandable to 16GB for heavier multitasking loads
  • ✓ PCIe slot leaves room for a 10GbE card or extra SSD expansion later

Cons

  • ✗ Memory tops out at 16GB DDR4, limiting large VM or container stacks
  • ✗ 10GbE needs a separate PCIe card, not included in the box
  • ✗ Celeron N5105 is entry-tier silicon for demanding 4K transcode workflows
