Tips

For a turnkey NAS, install a lightweight Linux distribution like OpenMediaVault or TrueNAS Scale. Use both 2.5GbE ports in link aggregation mode with a managed switch to double throughput for multiple clients. Add a 2.5" SATA SSD or HDD for bulk storage expansion. The fanless design requires adequate airflow, so avoid enclosing it in tight cabinets.
