Yesterday my NAS replacement hardware arrived.

Previously I was using an Intel Avoton C2750 board which failed years later with a written to death eeprom.
Then I replaced it with an Intel Atom C3558 board where it was promised that that should not happen… I wont wait…

There was a good offer, and I wanted to migrate to SSDs anyway.
The Ugreen NASync DXP 8880 plus, has 8 SATA bays for 3.5/2.5 disks,
as well as 3 onboard m.2 NVMe slots and an PCIe extension slot where an dual NVMe expander card can be installed. CPU is an i5 1235U with 10 cores.

As soon as the memory extension and extender card arrives, I‘ll post some more pictures.

Replaced the fans with some silent Noctua NF-A12x25, and replaced the RAM with 2x32GB Crucial DDR5 4800MHz SODIMM 1.1V

Now I’m still waiting for my SSD drives to be delivered.
8x Western Digital Red NAS SSD SA500 4TB and 4x WD SN850X 8TB NVMe’s.

For now I keep the 128GB boot NVMe, but it could be replaced too and hold another pool, we’ll see.
