Sounds very similar to the Minisforum N5 Pro that is coming out later this month. Although the N5 Pro has better specs.

What does Synology give you for $699?
Sheesh! Synology has great SW but... they're making it more and more difficult to stick with them every year.

Looks fun, but I wonder how storage, networking and OCulink are going to fare given the 20 PCIe lanes the chip offers - OCulink alone is, what, PCIe 4.0 8x worth of bandwidth? Not that it's really need for a NAS, but still.

The NVMe slots appear to be limited to 1 or 2x only, which is enough for a storage device, plus all six SATA disks it supports. And 2 x 2.5G + 2 x 10G networking.. something is going to throttle.

Don't get me wrong, I really like Aoostar's NAS models, but with this one they seem to try to cram too many features in.
