Is there any reason to go with quad 2.5gig over a single 10gig?

Besides technical reasons in regards to the NIC used it is much cheaper to buy 2.5gbit switches and having multiple ports opens up additional use cases.

Put in $1 for the early bird N100 version with 6w TDP. I’ve been wanting to build a server with exactly these specs to replace my work horse raspberry PI 4 with 2x10tb USB drives. This comes in a nice clean little package. I’ll probably start with 2x20gb in ZFS mirror with a spare NVME drive for cache, then add HDDS from there when it starts to fill up.

6 watt looks pretty good. I recently got a HP Microserver but haven't started using it yet because of the energy usage. I might get this or I might just give up on raid and go with a single SSD in my SFF Lenovo which I currently use.
