#2Are there any mini NAS with ECC ram nowadays? I recall that being my personal limiting factor
Re: Mini NASes marry NVMe to Intel's efficient chip
#3What are the non-Intel mini NAS options for lower idle power?
I know of FriendlyElec CM3588, are there others?

Yes, but not particularly cheap: https://www.asustor.com/en/product?p_id=89

The Aoostar WTR max is pretty beefy, supports 5 nvme and 6 hard drives, and up to 128GB of ECC ram. But it’s $700 bare bones, much more than these devices in the article.

HP Microservers.

I got myself a gen8, they’re quite cheap. They do have ECC RAM and take 3.5” hard drives.
At some point though, SSDs will beat hard drives on total price (including electricity). I’d like a small and efficient ECC option for then.

#8I've been running one of these quad nvme mini-NAS for a while. They're a good compromise if you can live with no ECC. With some DIY shenanigans they can even run fanless
If you're running on consumer nvmes then mirrored is probably a better idea than raidz though. Write amplification can easily shred consumer drives.

One of the arm ones is yes. Can't for the life of me remember which though - sorry - either something in bananapi or lattepanda part of universe I think

#10Would be nice to see what those little N100 / N150 (or big brother N305 / N350) can do with all that NVMe. Raw throughput is pretty whatever but hypothetically if the CPU isn't too gating, there's some interesting IOps potential.
Really hoping we see 25/40GbaseT start to show up, so the lower market segments like this can do 10Gbit. Hopefully we see some embedded Ryzens (or other more PCIe willing contendors) in this space, at a value oriented price. But I'm not holding my breath.
