The awesome-selfhosted list is ..well.. awesome, however it lacks a hardware category to collect links and information on cheap low power small devices to be used to host our personal data/services, both to avoid keeping beefier PCs up 24/7 and to better isolate their functions.
It could for example include from tiny boards with the bare minimum necessary to host very light services (Single NIC Raspberry/Orange/Nano/Banana PI, etc.) to small sized boards either with storage capabilities or a couple NICs to be used as moderate traffic firewalls (PCEngines.ch APU, etc) and bigger and more powerful systems with multiple NICs for SOHO+ sized servers and firewalls (www.ipu-system.de etc).
Also, this m.2 to SATA port replicator reportedly works perfectly with Linux (Possibly FreeBSD/XigmaNAS too) as do many other JMB575 based cards. Could turn any cheap board into a low cost NAS.

Too long for Mini PCs accepting only 2242 modules? Here's the extender.

- tashbarg 5y ago> this m.2 to SATA port replicator reportedly works perfectly with Linux That's a port multiplier and if that works or not depends more on the SATA controller and less on the operating system. Far from all SATA controllers support port multipliers. And even less support fast port multipliers (FIS), which is not much of an issue if your main target is size.
