Topton have also included a M.2 2280 slot that can be used for a PCIe 3.0 NVMe SSD, dual SODIMM slots enabling you to install up to 32GB of DDR4-2400 memory, to support the 6-watt AMD Athlon Silver 3050e 2-core / 4-thread processor.
Brad Linder over on the Liliputing website explains that :
“Unlike NAS systems from companies like Synology and QNAP, which typically come with a custom operating system pre-installed, the Topton NAS N1 is said to support a range of third-party (and open source) operating systems including OpenWRT, Ubuntu, and CentOS as well as other Linux-based software.”
