It has ARMv8 CPU and good feature set: https://shop.kobol.io/product/helios64-full-bundle/ - 300 USD before international shipping and taxes https://wiki.kobol.io/helios64/intro/ - Rockchip RK3399 with 2x Cortex-A72 + 4x Cortex-A53; 2,5Gbps + 1Gbps networking, 4GB RAM, 5 disks (one is shared with the M.2 SATA 3.0 Slot), integrated small backup battery They reported some problem with their 2,5Gbps network wiring: https://blog.kobol.io/2020/11/13/helios64-2-5g-ethernet-issue/ Currently sold out, they offer notification for the second batch. I'm not aware for ETA. Also for DIY low powered home NAS you could check the mini-ITX motherboards with the embedded CPUs and some computer case like Fractal Design Core 500 (4 3,5" bays + some 2,5" physically separate bays). Of course you will NOT get externally accessible drive bays. In fact I use the following components for a home server (4 years currently): Motherboard: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/GA-N3150N-D3V-rev-10/sp#sp - 4 SATA 3.0 ports and 2x1Gbps Ethernet Case: Fractal Design Core 500 RAM: 2x8GB DDR3L (laptop) Power supply: Corsair VS400 or VS450 ATX (I don't remember) I hope this will help you with your search.
