Status: Legacy / discontinued
An ultra-compact NASbook with four M.2 SATA SSD slots instead of drive bays, an Intel Celeron quad-core and 4 or 8 GB of RAM. A 10GbE port and 4K HDMI make it quick and good for quiet media playback. The slots don't take NVMe, and swapping drives means opening the case.
