NAS v2 hardware?
#2
God please, no. Helios64 is a bad product from my point of view. They lost track of what people want from a NAS device: Data Security!  Without proper ECC support, Copy on Write loses it's purpose, since Data can be corrupted inside the Caches or RAM. Clobbering together some wacky ECC-RAM-via-Special-Control-Bus-Solution does NOT help. It leaves Caches unprotected and ... how the heck do they even want to make this work? This is never going to get into mainline, let alone *BSD. Helios4 was checking all the boxes, reasonably fast and secure. 

Helios64 though is not a safe haven to store your data and backups, but some media center server for storing your movies and streaming stuff.


Basically, you could use a External RAID Direct Access Storage for 150$ + a RPi/RockPro64/... , and achieve the same level of performance and security. 


I'm going to spend some time looking into the options available for NAS/Media Servers later. Maybe there is some price region available for a product with certain capabilities.
