Affordable. And works very well





- Very nice construction. - As already mentioned, they are Ball Bearings.- Very simple to put together.(Guide included with pictures)- Universal and easily adjustable.

Pros are the device can run truenas just fine and with raidz1 saturate my modest 1gbps network. It cools the drives fine which are old crusty(hot) dell constellation enterprise drives. You can set the fan in the bios to a constant speed since truenas doesnt do that and at about 50-60% is all you need since the cpu is passively cooled and is low power anyway. 3 nvme slots is great also and makes this so easy to fill up with storage! Case is also easy to get apart to install the nvme drives.

- Rackmount - Minimal dept (works with shallow racks) - Good cooling - Possibility of 2 PSU - Possibility of extra disks units *. - SSH is available for advanced system admin**. *Read well on Synology website if you are planning to use it. ** DSM is NOT a regular linux release, so make SURE you know what you are doing. Refer to the documentation and community forum to learn more.

I have at least try that does not try nothing, I will eventually find a TPM 2.0 that works :)
