I love stuff like this but I’m trying to understand what the mass appeal would be compared to a NUC or Brix which seem more technically capable and also have a very small form factor. As near as I can tell, the differentiators are the ability to daisy chain them into a cluster over a high speed bus, a relatively low price, and some platform/App Store play like Synology or QNap. So it’s somewhere between a Brix and an RPi, I guess, in the price/performance balance, and then the software ecosystem is part of the selling point as well for most people. It seems like you’re buying the guts of a qnap without the drive bay hardware, and btw you can build a cluster of ‘em if you have that need for performance or HA. Cool. Will be interested in seeing how it evolves.
