There's just the motherboard, no plugged in cards. The fans are temperature controlled, so very quiet (some cases make fan motor noise much worse by resonating along with it). The non-surprise is that you can put on it what you want. Prebuilt NAS devices are limited to what they provide and allow. Some have a very short lifespan, in various ways (software updates, heat death of components, just to name two). Here's another thought: If you're thinking of a NAS as a way to handle off-site backups (moving the NAS here, to there, keeping it in a different place than your original data), some of them are not very robust. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.45.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Oct 13 17:20:51 UTC 2021 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
