I stumbled over Topton as well, and ECC would be indeed some improvement, but most of these boards are fairly new without long time experience while the Asrock SOCs have plenty of posts like “been working fine for 5+ years in my NAS, just upgrading because I need XY now”.
Of course, more features and N100 are tempting but for a NAS they really aren’t needed. ECC, Multiple NICs would be the most interesting thing and maybe something like IPMI/vpro (didn’t check yet if they support that) but everything else won’t be used.
I’ve seen Jonsbo and they seem to be good, but most of them are larger than I’d like them in my small rack (2-3HU).
Gonna check that vid in my break, thanks a lot!
None. I won’t install something that checks the whole system, but maybe a tool something that checks installed packages or container images against some known cve database and alerts me if it has findings.
