At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LO23JSzyiE&t=740">12:20</a> he mentions it has DD5 memory with internal ECC, this is incorrect, the 5825U CPU doesn't even support DDR5. If one watches the video carefully, at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LO23JSzyiE&t=588">9:48</a> you can see that the installed memory stick is indeed DDR4 3200. The CLI displayed at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LO23JSzyiE&t=750">12:30</a> also shows the OS reporting the memory as DDR4. At <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LO23JSzyiE&t=760">12:40</a> he says that 32GB is the maximum memory for the CPU which is incorrect, the CPU and device support 64GB. I'm guessing he mixed up the memory specs with the ones for the N100 version of the device.

This is exactly what I was looking for to replace my current unRAID hardware. i5-8600T is a bit long in the tooth, this more than doubles the performance and is a much much much smaller footprint. Ordered one today.

Thanks for the review! <br> <br>This is a very interesting device to create a virtualization environment. <br>The CPU and the ability to use a lot of memory almost beg for that application. <br> <br>If I didn't already have a Proxmox server in a regular PC case, I would definitely go for this option because of the compact case and the 4 disk slots.

There are alot back story and secret on those.<br>The model selling in China use R7 5825U cost about $300 for bearbone.<br>This was half year delay from when they announced it. And the 8-bay model was canceled.<br>They say there will be a flag ship model. Based on their track record, we may see some design around end this year. and maybe purchaseable end next year.

Wow, this is exactly what I could buy in this price point, 200-300 cheaper than alternative, such a shame it doesn't include 10Gb NIC<br><br>Love the design, a little bit on the fence about port location tho

A very good video, I got all the information except the most important one: Since you mentioned that you're bothered by the lack of a 10G network card, you could have tested a USB 10G adapter and reported on its speed. Many people don’t need such speeds right from the start and could upgrade later, of course, if they want to, know how it works, and if it even works!!??<br><br>Thank you,<br>I love your tests because they are great, interesting, and educational!<br>Best regards to everyone.

It was built around the 2-bay nas board. They could only put the ports on the side in this format. Wifi slot is also a left-over. My biggest problem with it in the 2-bay trashcan, is the cooling. The ssds are on the other side of the cpu and are really cooking. There is no space for a heatsink.
