i want a NAS i can puf 4tb nvme’s in and a 12tb hdd running backup every night. with ability to shove a 50gbps sfp card in it so i can truly have a detached storage solution.

Yeah that’s what I want too. I don’t necessarily need a mirror of most data, some I do prefer, but that’s small.

I just want a backup (with history) of the data-SSD. The backup can be a single drive + perhaps remote storage

10gbps would be a good start. The lack of wifi is mentioned as a downside, but do many people want that on a NAS?

Would you really want the backup on a single disk? Or is this backing up data that is also versioned on the SSDs?

The lack of highspeed networking on any small system is completely and totally insane. I have come to hate 2.5gbps for the hard stall it has caused on consumer networking with such a passion that it is difficult to convey. You ship a system with USB5 on the front and your networking offering is 3.5 orders of magnitude slower? What good is the cloud if you have to drink it through a straw?
