Ugreen NAS - currently on kickstarter for this summer - but it's a reputable company.

Their hardware is dramatically better at the price points then the alternatives - even if they do have some comprimises.

Wow, those hardware specs are nice. What compromises do you refer to, specifically? I think that the 8GB ram and 128GB flash cache are on the small side, but both are user-replaceable so not that big a deal.

The only thing I really miss here is ECC ram, but that's entirely due to Intel's market segmentation and not something they can change, save by completely changing their platform vendor.

Interesting! Unfortunately no power draw numbers.
