Nice! I wish it had a USB port for setting up NAS, though.
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
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)?
Wonder if that m.2 slot could be used for a wifi card that supports wifi 6E provided that openwrt has drivers
Probably
Cool
Anyone in the UK ordered or tried one of these yet?
