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.

You pay OS, warranty, etc. and like Terramaster then use with other system? Only for casing because the price is cheaper than use your own hardware.

This is best option.

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.

Now, there isn’t stock for N305. Its the best option.

I want to see your review with DSM and other virtualizations.

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.

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.

I installed 2 SSDs in m2 from KingSpec, let's see how long they last :)

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.

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?

Good afternoon!

Do you have any hardware transcoding enabled on this board?

I’m also curious to know, because technically, it shouldhttps://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.

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.
