OK, thanks for this feedback Is there any hope for self-building low-noise/low-power NAS with ARMv8, for example, using the Gigabyte MP30-AR0, or do the ARMv8 solutions consume too much power to be popular in this market? MP30-AR0 is a microATX form-factor, CPU dissipates 45W and there are various NAS-style cases it could go into. I also saw the LeMaker Cello from 96boards[1], it is not clear what size case it will go into though but it appears to be a 25W chip, so maybe more desirable than MP30-AR0 1. https://www.96boards.org/products/ee/cello/
