    Nice! I wish it had a USB port for setting up NAS, though.

      Full specs:

      • 1GB DDR4 memory (onboard)
      • 256MiB SPI NAND Flash and 16 MiB SPI NOR flash storage
      • M.2 2242/2230 socket for PCIe Gen  2 x1 SSD (bring your own storage)
      • MediaTek MT7976C dual-band WiFi 6 support (2×2 2.4 GHz and 3×3 5 GHz)
      • 1 x USB 2.0 Type-A host port
      • 1 x USB Type-C (device, console)
      • RTC backup battery support
      • PoE support
      • MikroBUS socket for expansion modules

      It has a USB port and an M2 NVME slot. As someone else noted, USB is usually considered a poor choice due to speed and reliability, so I would suggest nvme.

        I’m a bit unfamiliar with NVME, I’ll look into that maybe instead.

          Using this as a NAS would be an odd choice indeed - it’s unequivocally a router.

      Setting up NAS? Anything over USB is going to be slower than LAN, isn’t it (which is still your bottleneck anyway)?
