I love this, and I'm saving the link long-term on my system. What I'd _really_ like to see though is more information on all the various adapters you talk about - M2, PCIe, USB etc. There are various generations, various lanes required, etc, and any setup with adapters will always slow down to the least of them. A good guide about what version/gen etc can be mated with what would be really helpful ...it overwhelms me!!
up until the oculink 4x nvme, it looked like you rifled through my parts bin. I have all of the devices you mentioned except for that oculink doc, but I have had my eye on it too lol. my favorite nas hackenstein "upgrade": a 4x4x4x4 bifurcation nvme board for an x16 slot to get 4x nvme to x4 pcie slots out of a single itx board. I use one of these in my backup NAS to give a dual 10gb nic, nVidia Tesla P4, and 2x NVMe 2tb drives out of the one PCIe gen3 or better slot. I then use the NVMe slot on the motherboard for an additional x4 PCIe breakout for an HBA for a bunch of HDD. This combo takes a very basic itx motherboard and builds a very feature complete NAS in a tiny package. You just need to get a mobo that supports the bifurcation.
problem with mitx board integrated n100 cpu in my opinion is that the manufacturers completely miss what is needed....and they produce half finished boards with nonsense like few 10gig networks meanwhile most folk dont even have 2.5gig network(leave youtubers out)... i think what we need is board with 2.5gig network, 6-8 sata, 2usb(whats the point of 2usb 2.0, 2usb3.0), pcie, nvme and atx standard psu compatible(we need it to power hdd anyway) and finished bios(hardware that it goes to deep C states)... ppl with needs biger than that they are looking at different hardware(matx, atx, stronger cpu etc)
mm you do realize that a lot of things sell on hype and 'potential' rather than what ppl actually end up doing with their systems, also 2.5gig takes as much space as 10gig. A lot of the buyers who they are aiming for don't necessarily factor in that they will need other gear to also support whatever network standard they are looking at. I speak to random people at times about stuff like this, and have done so for 20+ years. I used to work doing tech support for a while, and some calls were literally like "hi, I have a xyz123abc here." - "great to year sir, how can I be of assistance?" - "You guys make this thing, right? I'm calling the right people?" - "Yessir, that is one of our products. Is it all working ok? You're calling support, can we be of assistance with something?" - "Ooh, well, I haven't plugged it in yet... what am I supposed to do with it?" - "Sir, it's a NAS drive, Network Attached Storage, you can plug it into your network and copy files to it from your computer, or back. That sorta thing. Are you trying to do something specific with it that you need help with?" - "Oooh, no. I don't know if I need this, but it sounds great!" - "Yessir, okay, well, if you decide you want to use it and have issues doing so, please call us back at that time - when you have the device plugged in as shown in the manual and are trying to use it for something and not getting it to work as expected. Good evening sir." *click*
The longer I watched this video, the happier I became with my new UGreen NAS DXP6800 (6 bay) unit. So many standard features in their hardware that meet or exceed the upgrades listed here... especially for those of us who them at Kickstarter prices. DUAL 10GbE NETWORK PORTS (Can be link aggregated. 20G bandwidth for download speeds up to 2500MB/s). 12th GEN 10-CORE INTEL Core i5 Processor (1235u). Six 24TB capacity bays. TWO M.2 NVMe SLOTS expandable to 16TB (8TB each). DDR5 RAM expandable up to 96GB / 4800MHz. DUAL THUNDERBOLT 4 ports and a PCIe x4 expansion slot. Lastly the “ice cream on the cake” that UGREEN allows you to install your software of choice (TruNAS, Unraid, HexOS, etc.) if you dont like theirs, without voiding the warranty… love it. I think that is plenty of hardware for most NAS user, especially for the average home users. And again, I got all of that for $599 (Kickstarter). It was a no brainer.
Great video and thanks for keeping us informed. Looking to build a full tower with about 10 hdds. Main goal is a raid plex server. Never build one before but have been using computers for 45 years, so its about time I tried!😂
a lot of these upgrades cover some of the issues i've found while shopping for a diy itx solution for 8 bays. none of the larger brands sell these boards with more than 4 sata. So it's always been the internal debate of ordering a cwwk nas board off ali express and hope it works well....or buy a board with less ports and eat up my pcie card for an HBA instead of the 10gig card i wanted.
Thank you so much for this amazing video! I need some advice: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). How should I go about transferring them to Binance?
What i now want is a small turnkey or diy ssd nas that I could hang on the back of my tv and which would double as a Kodi player... And would still have sufficient capacity to mirror my main nas (i.e. at least 30 tb).
Where are the videos doing dives on all the features Nas software have? Wondering about all the options I can setup on asustor. I recall a video that mentioned you'd do a guide for it but haven't seen one that went through stuff in detail.
9:15 such a good idea! how reliable are they? My power brick is a little broken and needs to be held at just the right angle to charge so this is ideal for me!
Cannot speak for all brands of those adapter, but I have a TS-264 that has been running off a 4 port USB C power hub via one of these for 5 months and never failed me
A bit of advice if I may: you really need to work on the lighting setup in your videos. The background is sick! But you need better lighting. More contrast.
arnt these usb-c to barrel plugs bad? i mean i readed if use one of those it keep pulling 100w non stop it is not like they switch to lower usages when not needed, it kills the chargers
I don't know if I was doing something wrong or not but I tried the wavlink 5 GB USB-C network adapter thing and it said I was connected at 5 gigabits but I was only getting the same speed as my laptops built in 2.5 to add to this My Nas has 10gbe
Lets face it, that MS-01 board will not see the light of day... But I do hope they take into account how successful the MS-01 was, and realise what it a success.. the MS-A1 is a bit of a flop from what I can tell (not surprising.. they really should have just made a Ryzen version of the MS-01 with 7945HX, or new 7940HX).

i want that bat mobile upgrade on the table

Where is the link to the IOcrest usb4 to M.2 to pcie adapter you referenced @ 4:26
Man you are WikiNAS! Awesome.
Great Video! More Please ! 😊
thanks for the vid. Eddie rocks!

OK, starting at 9:45 you blew my mind.
TB5 and Oculink2 should really start to make this an interesting environment, just need the PCIe lanes / bifurcation issues to be resolved.
Cool video
Nice! Thank you!

Excellent!
Is there an aliexpress version of the qnap 10gb/nvne card that exist?
Unfortunately, no. Genuinely no idea why
Hey wait, what about the Batmobile, I want to know how that upgrades my NAS
I expected to see an M.2 Coral Edge TPU for friage here!
With all those small detachable parts one really needs a network cabinet with lots of shelves. Otherwise it all will look really ugly.
4:09 I recognise that adapter!
Yeah ya do....
I don't know if I was doing something wrong or not but I tried the wavlink 5 GB USB-C network adapter thing and it said I was connected at 5 gigabits but I was only getting the same speed as my laptops built in 2.5 to add to this My Nas has 10gbe

your hoody is geil---raid is not a backup
The QNAP "U.2 card" ist not a u.2 to m.2 raid card. Its a dual M.2 Sata to 2,5 inch Sata Card
You are utterly, utterly correct. Pulled the wrong component off the shelf. Should be this - www.qnap.com/en-uk/product/qda-u2mp
There are so many mistakes in this video..
Mixing up sas/sata/u.2/etc.
Would love your video review of HexOS that Linus has invested in
