Prutzer Posted December 24, 2023 Share #1 Posted December 24, 2023 Hi All, Does anyone tested this mainboard with Xpenology? Is it any good? Is the bios good without Chinese Spyware? The hardware specs are perfect. It is the ultimate Nas mainboard. If any known brand should build this I would buy it directly. Szbox NAS N100 You need to buy a cpu fan.

apriliars3 Posted December 24, 2023 Share #3 Posted December 24, 2023 Topton had this motherboard. Intel N305 is perfect for Proxmox and use with DSM, pfsense, LCX, openwrt, openmediavualt, etc. Use this enrouter motherboard only for DSM is very poor.

Prutzer Posted December 24, 2023 Author Share #4 Posted December 24, 2023 MM Ugreen is also comming soon with NAS hardware based on the N100 with NVME and 2.5Gbit ports. It would be very nice if it could run DSM. https://nascompares.com/2023/09/11/new-ugreen-dxp4800-and-dxp2800-intel-n100-nas-revealed/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only for casing because the price is cheaper than use your own hardware. This is best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AskuSU Posted December 29, 2023 Share #6 Posted December 29, 2023 Hi all. I ordered a board for i3-n305 through aliexpress and am waiting for delivery from the seller. Once I have the board, I will try to install DSM on it, and I will report the results. https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005006307397620.html?spm=a2g0o.store_pc_allProduct.8148356.4.b9f319e33fMzIQ&pdp_npi=4%40dis!USD!US %24457.38!US %24228.69!!!457.38!228.69!%402103010e17038427190426564e76f6!12000036700747246!sh!NL!0!

ITXDude Posted March 8 Share #8 Posted March 8 I have using the N100 version right now (N305 was sold out). It is value for money, quite powerful, enough for the most workload (would like to have had the n305, just because ) There are some downsides, like max 16Gb memory, no onboard HW/bios raid for the OS, and the PCI3e is only one lane, so it is not possible to buy an raid adapter (all i have found requires 2 pci lanes or more.). Running OMV with 1xSDD (os) ,1xNVME(configuration backup etc) and 6xHD's in an snapraid setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hello everyone, my long-awaited motherboard arrived in early March. For the first time, the seller canceled the shipment because they found some problems with the batch of motherboards. As a result, they sent it to me at the end of February. The first launch is very long, after everything is initialized the launch becomes fast. hdmi only works in OS, it’s better not to rely on it, there are resolution problems there. But through DP everything works well. I was able to install 32GB of memory from the Chinese brand PUSKILL, frequencies 5200MHz did not work, but at 4800MHz everything works. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005989535277.html?spm=a2g2w.orderdetail.0.0.d9704aa6ABmHvJ&sku_id=12000035200940840 I installed 2 SSDs in m2 from KingSpec, let's see how long they last https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003844066987.html?spm=a2g2w.orderdetail.0.0.20f84aa6C22z9Q&sku_id=12000037919355571 Xpenology installed without any problems at all. I used the bootloader from Peter Suh, screenshots of the system and board are attached. I've been using it for 2 weeks now and it's great. https://github.com/PeterSuh-Q3/tinycore-redpill Edited March 31 by AskuSU 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slavak Posted April 29 Share #10 Posted April 29 Приветствую , Друзья! Тоже поставил себе такую плату на свой NAS. Вроде как система перенеслась нормально, за исключением кодеков Advanced Media Extension! До этого стаяла плата Asrock J5040 и все работало прекрасно! Систама DSM 7,2 Ubdate 5, серийный номер реальный, MAC адреса тоже с реального DS918+ Как у Вас с этим обстоят дела, может что подскажите?

I’m also curious to know, because technically, it should: https://www.cpu-monkey.com/en/cpu-intel_core_i3_n305 And a user reports it handles it, just some issues when using PGS subtitles: The main difference is the OS, he seems to use Debian 12.

Prutzer Posted May 5 Author Share #13 Posted May 5 (edited) There is a new (pruple) version of this board comming: 2 less ethernet ports, but pcie 3.0 upgraded from x1 to x4 Sata: ASM1166 instead of the JMB585 I'm wondering what idle power consumption this board will have. https://forums.servethehome.com/index.php?threads/12gen-n-series-nas-motherboard-topton-cwwk.42432/page-20 Edited May 5 by Prutzer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
