Hi all,

I am looking at building my next NAS. My current will move to offsite, and the new will be primary. I previously used this motherboard, and was planning to go with that again. Then I saw this one, which seems like a better option. It has a slightly better CPU and a PCIe slot, but can only have 32GB memory max compared with 64GB max on my current.

Am I missing anything or is this a no-brainer to switch to the N100 board?

@rambos @monty33 The N series processors are for embedded applications and are soldered to the motherboard. look up #Erying motherboards, they use more powerful laptop CPUs (also soldered) for not much more than the N series.
