Thanks for the welcome! Some bumps in the road here and there (mainly with plex intel hw transcoding right now) but overall I like the control over where all my files are stored. There's nothing obscured from the user as in the Synology world such as where your docker and vm images are stored. Use case is just serving media files for the family, doing pc backups and storing backups from my proxmox servers. Welcome!.. it does look amazing but I'm not sure how the software side is going to work. It says they are using openwrt, truenas scale and proxmox all in one. It doesn't sound like something the average user can manage.

I'm a little late to the party but I just built my first unraid server with this motherboard from AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256804565944286.html Intel Celeron n5105 4x Intel 2.5 GB ports 2x 2280 m.2 NVME slots 6x Sata connectors (5x using the JMicron JMB58X controller and 1x on the soc) 2x DDR4 sodimm slots 2x onboard internal usb 2.0 slots Cost was about $150 This appears to be the same motherboard used for the new Storaxa kickstarter nas: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/storaxa/fully-customizable-home-cloud-storage-with-remote-access-nas/description Not a beast but a good replacement for my Synology 1019+.
