The cw-nas-adln-k has been out for over a month. So I thought you were implying there was now a v2 of the cw-nas-adln-k. I'll probably pick one of these up soon and then with the aid of an inexpensive dual or quad ASMedia m.2 splitter I can load it up with drives thanks to the x4 PCIe. I'm...

So I'm not clear on what the difference is with this board? The picture mentions the Q670 chipset andIntel vPro but this makes no sense since the N series use an onboard PCH not a discrete chipset. So what's going on?

The dual coral module needs 2 PCIe lanes. One for each module. Also good luck actually getting one. Mine has been on back order for over a year.

Sorry, I only know what has been discussed here... To the effect that the N5105 CPU only has 5 clock sources and 4 are used by the NICs so that leaves one for the PCIe. I assume the 6 NIC version already has a second clock source. The v5 of the board includes a AU5426 to provide additional clock...

So I finally had some time to do some testing and I can confirm that if you are using v3 or v4 (v5 has an additional clock so does not have this limitation); - Samsung Evo 970 and 980 Pro (and probably all their drives) require a clock so can only have one installed. - WD Blue SN570, WD Green...

Yes Not quite. The v3 introduced the new PCB layout that allows for the second NVMe SSD via the daughter board. The v4 was just a v3 with the intel i225 nics updated to the i226. In line with what @dazagrt said. Again, shout out to @dazagrt. There is only one clock signal available between the...

I'm not sure what you mean by "dissipation of the CPU". If you are referring to heat, then that's down to how much load you put on the system, what drive(s) you have, airflow +/- fan, ambient air temp, C state power levels, BIOS version, construction (some have gaps between the CPU and heatsink)...

So I am not aware of anyone having issues with any of the N5105/N6005 units for bare metal pfSense/OpenSense. If running in a VM then you need to make sure the host Linux kernel is at least 5.19.4 or higher. Since I upgraded my Unraid box to 6.11.0 my pfsense VM has been rock solid. Prior it...

Although I have 8 NVMe drives (totalling 14TB) in production, I don't think that quite amounts to the level of data. It's still well within anecdote territory. I think I just push these drives a bit harder than the average user. Of the 8 drives I have had 3 x 2TB fail within the first 2 year and...

Seagate; Warning Comp. Temp. Threshold: 75 Celsius Critical Comp. Temp. Threshold: 80 Celsius Samsung; Warning Comp. Temp. Threshold: 85 Celsius Critical Comp. Temp. Threshold: 85 Celsius Each drive keeps a log of hours in operation at each temp threshold. I'm not sure if they...

I am using a 970 Evo Plus and a Seagate BarraCuda 510. Judging SSD heat/temp/power profiles is almost impossible. According to the docs, the 970 peaks at 9W vs 5.3W for the 510. But if you look at the supported power modes in the SMART tables then 970 in full power (mode 0) peaks at 7.8W and the...

I've logged this with the Unraid team. Once they release the next RC I will upgrade and see if my VM settles.

Did a quick translation on the ChangWang website for people who are considering a BIOS upgrade. Changwang N5105 V3 V4 version BIOS update program, please confirm the version before flashing before flashing. 2022/8/9 Repair - Fixed some memory incompatibility issues. - Optimize boot speed. -...

This makes the Jonsbo N1 or other similar ITX NAS cases look really interesting.

If you do the bios upgrade, let me know how it goes. I’ve hesitated because it’s not as simple as a normal motherboard.

Easy way to test would be to disconnect the SATA drive and see if NVMe_P1 shows back up in the BIOS. I expect that it won't make any difference. These boards are just very finicky about what NVMe drives will work together (discussed in many of my earlier posts). I have had success with...

I have been playing with this but slow shipping, my day job and a family holiday have got in the way. I have 3 different 12V/2A units I plan on testing with; - PS5712TG from SDaPo Communication - LS-POE-1220MK from Shenzhen Eborm Technology - Anvision AV-PS12-G I will be back in Aus in the...

It's strange that it's so picky. From my server logs; [144d:a808] 01:00.0 Non-Volatile memory controller: Samsung Electronics Co Ltd NVMe SSD Controller SM981/PM981/PM983 [N:0:4:1] disk Samsung SSD 970 EVO Plus 1TB__1 /dev/nvme0n1 1.00TB [1bb1:5012] 02:00.0 Non-Volatile memory...

I couldn't get 2 x Samsung 970 Evo Plus drives to work but one Samsung and one Seagate together worked fine. What combo won't work for you?

I spoke too soon, I'm now seeing multiple reboots per day on the pfsense VM with Unraid. The error seems to be more consistent now; Fatal trap 12: page fault while in kernel mode cpuid = 0; apic id = 00 fault virtual address = 0x30 fault code = supervisor write data, page not present...
