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

A compact and reliable motherboard. I purchased this board because I needed a reliable and compact motherboard for my Unraid server which runs 24/7. What I really like about it is the number of SATA slots and the two NVME ports for SSDs or to add even more SATA ports. It has been running always on since August 2025 with no problems.

Minimal packaging. The manufacturer is BKHD. Once I was able to looking up the documentation that was missing from the package, installation went smoothly. I’m using a Jonsbo N2 box and this board didn’t work with most of its front connectors unfortunately.

Purchased this for a pfSense build. As advertised, the board is populated with 4 discreet Intel V226 NIC's. Added 8Gb of DDR5 RAM and a 128Gb NVME SSD. Used 150w PICO PSU. Board booted 1st time no problems. pfSense installed with no issues and recognized the intel NIC's immediately. Installation and setup (including bridging 3 of the NIC's for LAN and setup OpenVPN for remote) took approx 2 hours. NOTE: I must point out that this board comes with absolutely no documentation; online searches came up with zero as well. While most of the headers are labeled on the board, the chassis header for Power sw. and LED's have no polarity indicated so connection is trial and error. That being said,, if you are comfortable with building PC's and willing to take some time this is an excellent choice for a NAS or Router build

Used it on a TrueNAS setup. Flawless install and boot on first attempt. No issues.

The first board I got did not recognize any of my drives. I sent it back for a replacement but the replacement got stolen off my porch. Amazon sent out a replacement for the stolen one and it works great. I'm running two 4 TB Western Digital NAS Drives. I downloaded TrueNas onto the vme drive. Now I come back up all my files with ease of mind! I've only had the motherboard working for about 2 days now and I am very happy.

Update: The seller sent me an open box board as a replacement under warranty and it has the exact same problem. A faulty memory controller. Both boards also run quite hot because the CPU heatsink and fan are not equipped to properly cool the CPU. So under a modest load it will run at 78-83C. That's hot enough that the board will burn itself out without some kind of aftermarket heatsink/fan modification. But back to the original problem. I have perfectly good DDR5 SODIMMs that I have tested on other motherboards w/o issue. I've included a screenshot that shows the failure on this board on the third pass, as well as the high CPU temperatures. Upon reaching out to the seller, they insisted it isn't the motherboard because . . . the same problem is happening again. They even asked me if I had used the motherboard for anything yet. How can I use it for a firewall with a faulty memory controller and a CPU that runs at about 80C under modest load? This unit was not built with quality in mind, and I HIGHLY recommend you look elsewhere. Even if you are lucky enough to get a board that has a working memory controller, chances are it will eventually overheat and die a lot earlier than it should. I am very disappointed in this purchase and hope my review helps others stay away so they can save their time and money. Original Review: Had a bad motherboard out of the box. Memory controller is faulty. I tried replacing the RAM just in case it was that, but the same exact problem persists. The unit came with no documentation, and I don't suspect that there's much of a warranty. If there is I'd likely have to ship it overseas, which makes it not worthwhile. So much for hoping to find a decent priced NUC board, I was hopeful about this one, but it's been a nightmarish experience. I don't recommend buying this unless you enjoy hardware with poor QA and no support.
