The lockerstor gen 3 looks legit, I just wish they'd chosen a CPU with integrated graphics. It would've been damn near perfect had they done so. [REPLY]
This looks very interesting, the 4x gen 4 m.2 is a great feature, as well as the 10gbe and 5gbe NICs. The lack of integrated graphics (or easy means of add [REPLY]

I’d love to see a video using this router like a NAS. Maybe even a PLEX test somehow. [REPLY]

Would like to know: WILL IT WORK on a DS 718+ and DS 720+. ??? And will it be stable before & after DSM Upgrades? [REPLY]
crazy that they remove H.265 from surveillance station. This means you can no longer use the motion detection which renderes surveillance station useless. [REPLY]
This is me, hmm I’m going to merge these somehow. [REPLY]
I have the flint 2, these are incredible! We have an RV and will be getting this model sometime next year. We’ll use your link;) My only issue…I can [REPLY]
