Under the hood, the Celeron J6412 and 8GB of RAM give you enough headroom for file serving, backup targets, light virtualization, and surveillance recording via QVR Elite or QVR Center, managing up to 32 surveillance servers and 10,000+ cameras from a single interface if you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDual 2.5GbE networking means you get a meaningful jump over standard Gigabit without needing an expensive switch upgrade, and the two M.2 NVMe slots let you add SSD caching to speed up random I\/O without giving up any of the four 3.5-inch bays.
