We are digital librarians.

Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

NAS with upgradable RAM for TrueNAS (alien.top)

I'm looking for an off-the-shelf 4 or 6 bay NAS with upgradeable RAM that runs TrueNAS (for ZFS). The QNAP TS-664 looked very nice, but the price of the 4G version (with 2 RAM slots) is currently 25% more than the 8G version (with soldered RAM). I'd like to have 16 or better 32GB of RAM.

Do you have any recommendations?

Sorry, I was strictly speaking newer Intel SFF mobos vs the Haswell one I quoted. I get 15-18W idle with SATA SSD, 1Gbe, no PCI card/no HBA, and an ATX Gold PSU. Two different (i3/i5) Haswell era SFF PCs I tested are both in this range. Once CPU is used at all, they both jump up to the 25-28W range.
