Status: Legacy / discontinued
A 12-bay 2U rackmount NAS with an AMD R-Series quad-core and room for up to 64 GB of DDR4. Dual 10GbE SFP+ ports come pre-installed, and two M.2 SATA slots handle SSD cache or tiering without using a drive bay. The 10GbE card fills the only PCIe slot, so there's no room for other add-in cards.
