Hi all,

I am looking at building my next NAS. My current will move to offsite, and the new will be primary. I previously used this motherboard, and was planning to go with that again. Then I saw this one, which seems like a better option. It has a slightly better CPU and a PCIe slot, but can only have 32GB memory max compared with 64GB max on my current.

Am I missing anything or is this a no-brainer to switch to the N100 board?

On the N100, they say the max support is 16GB RAM. If you were looking for at least 32GB, it may not be an option anymore

It is listed at 32GB, but I've seen folks online who have installed more and tested it. Same 16GB limit listed with the N5105 that I currently have. I have 32GB on that and tested it.

Ok, this is good to know!
