Drives overheat, cpu overheats, and it has problems with many SSD's. Dramless drives drove up the cpu demand to intolerable levels and drives with a cache gave him different problems with the device identifying them properly. He ended up de-casing it for airflow and wrapping it with tape to keep the drives in.
Failed a number of his NAS tests until he fully declocked the cpu and had a fan blowing on the drives. At that point, the performance was poorer than a raspberry pi 4.

12GB DDR5 vs 16GB DDR4
Not sure what your use case is but I had posted a deal couple days back. Same processor, 12GB DDR5, 512GB HDD and dual 2.5Gbps LAN for $149 (after $70 coupon). I got it but have not tested it yet.

I plan to set it up for router/firewall use. So dual LAN port outweighed the HDD speed but understand your point.
e:I see Windows 11 Pro now that I looked harder. I can ship this straight to Grandma.
