Yeah, I'm just disappointed, because I'd love a low-power DIY NAS and I really don't need need anything x86-specific on it. My main limitation with current ARM SOCs is limited RAM, I really want 16GB RAM, and many SOCs only go to 4GB.

I know why they don't do it, I was just hoping they'd make an option to use the same socket for ARM and x86 so I could pull a low-end server chip and put it into a higher-end consumer board and have my cake and eat it too.

if its strictly nas, yeah thats a flaw. the advantage of the x86 devices is that the low power chips have good transcoding. so its common for people to pick up intel n series boards for intel quicksync, and the raw expansion ports for storage

Yeah, I don't need transcoding, I just need NAS, some random services, and occasional compiles.
