Only complaints are that it will thermal throttle on long workloads (e.g., transcoding or facial recognition on my entire Immich library), and the SSD slots — it comes with an mSATA drive in the first slot which is 4 lanes (I think?) and supports mSATA and NVME. The second slot is slower (1 lane?) and only supports NVME. So I had to put my nicer NVME SSD in that slot if I wanted to use the included mSATA drive, but consequently the NVME speed is slower than it should be. (I could swap it to the fast slot but then I couldn’t use the included mSATA drive.)
Dang, maybe I can find something similar at a similar price. Right now I have a beat little travel router that I thought about upgrading. The newest, best version of it is $120 and only has 512MB of RAM. For that price I can probably find something a lot better and install OpenWRT on it. Or at least that’s my thought.
Which PC did you get? I have a project that something like this might be perfect for.
No longer available I guess, but I got this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0DDX1K5S1

For my use case, both minor issues.
