HKUXZR N100 Industrial Motherboard NAS 4 Cores 4 Threads Low Power Processor 4x2.5G i226 Network M.2 Slot 6xSATA DP HDMI 2.0 PCIE ×1 .1*M2_ SSD NVME/NGFF+ 1*M.2_ NVME

For the board manual goggle the "BKHD 1264 NAS MB".Great little board for DIY NAS project.I have installed 32GB DDR5 4800Mhz SODIMM ram module and validated it with memtest - it works flawlessly (despite what is stated in documentation). I have used HP X1 ram module, but I suspect it should work with other brands.

The board literally doesn’t even come with a manual. That being said, it did work out of the box and notice everything I plugged into it. Major gripes are that there is no USB 3.0 header on this board even though it has two USB 3.0 ports on it. Remote out of band management would have been nice too. I was able to get it to boot to TrueNAS core from a USB 3.0 Sandisk jump drive and install to a 2.5 “ SATA SSD running off of SATA1 which is the top left sata port when looking at the board in the orientation of the picture in its profile with the I/O positioned on left side. It’s weird but they don’t refer to the first SATA port out of those six as “0” so it isn’t “0-5” as opposed to reality: SATA “1-6” on this board.I was able to run four 12 TB Seagate NAS grade HDD, 1 Western Digital 500 GB NAS 2.5” SATA SSD, and two Patriot NVME 512GB all at the same time with a 500W Gold Flex PSU, and I might add an eGPU board like a madman later since this little doofus has an PCI-E x1 lane… so many possibilities.Maxed out the RAM with a properly spec Crucial 16GB module.You’ll be tempted to go with an itx case but I would just suck it up and go with an MATX or ATX smaller form factor case that has good HDD cage support like something from Silverstone or Fractal Design.

This board can be had on AliExpress for a bit cheaper, but if you need it in a hurry this is a good spot. I am using this to host a full *arr stack, webservers, download clients, etc. with 48TB of attached HDD storage managed with mergerfs. Just note that the M2 slot closest to the processor is NVME and the other is just SATA, so use the closest slot for whatever needs the speed advantage. For me, that's a working/scratch drive for nzbget processes. Manufacturer is BKHD if you need to research it. I re-pasted the heatsink out of habit when I received it. Does hardware transcoding with QuickSync in Jellyfin really well. Can't think of a better board. I have a USB PCIEx1 card on it to provide an internal USB3.0 header for my case + 2x C and 4x A ports on the back. Seemed to be picky with RAM, I have a 16GB GSKILL ripjaws stick installed. Some people suggest that you can have more RAM than that, but I use this for a ton of docker-based applications on Debian 12 and my RAM usage never exceeds 50%. Good board.

The media could not be loaded. Bottom line is it does not work.No manual, but I could at least tell where to plug things in. However, the product does not work. It keeps turning on and off every 2 seconds when I have the bare essentials connected - PSU / ATX cable, RAM, and CMOS battery. I have confirmed it was not the fault of any of these by replacing each of them. It turns on and off even without the power button connected. All of this is indicative of a short circuit in the mobo.

There’s no documentation but I still got it to work. I read the motherboard to figure out where to plug everything in and then turned it on and it’s running great. Using it as NAS controller for time machine backups locally and on cloud.

Ran proxmox for a few months before switching to unraid, both of which were easy to run with this motherboard but starting having more and more issues with the system becoming unresponsive and needing a hard reset. Ram test started blowing up, swapped out the modules but had the exact same issue. Tried to contact the manufacturer but they don't recognize or support purchases made through this Amazon reseller. For the price and expectations it did great when it worked, but all those savings have now been flushed.

Yes, after major efforts of work around, got it to run win 10. Reason I chose this motherboard is I wanted the lower power speedy intel N100 in mini-itx board with 2.5GBE ethernet.No documentation, no user manual and this webpage product description claims it is "Platform Windows" but I say not quite...here are the win10 issues with the motherboard.....1. Very primitive BIOS that does not allow to boot from win10 usb installer, have to boot from preinstalled win10 SSD2. Cannot run win10 update via ethernet unless the driver is the latest intel network driver from USB drive3. no audio because Multimedia audio controller is unknown4. despite the fact it claimed 1*M2_ SSD NVME/NGFF+ 1*M.2_ NVME, I can't get any m2-ngff to be visible in bios or win10 in any m2 slotOther than the issues I listed above which I can live with, this N100 board is ok and fan is quiet

I threw a stick of 32GB Crucial DDR5 RAM in the board, hit power, and nothing happened for a minute or so. I started looking up where I could buy a 16GB stick of RAM locally quickly, and while sitting there the board POSTed!I installed Proxmox as my host and started installing containers and VMs. I'm loving it so far!
