I'm currently trying to build out a ZFS array with a few 8TB drives I have lying around. I have one of these 5-port NVMe SATA controllers and am looking for advice on which SFF PC to buy.

I had a spare NUC that I thought had a NVMe slot, but turns out it's SATA only.

Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonably cheap (second hand is fine) machines that would have: gigabit ethernet, USB3.0+, M.2 slot that supports NVMe?

Thanks in advance!

Have you seen those nas Intel n5105 mini itx motherboards at AliExpress? They have 6 sata ports, 2 nvme slots, 4 x 2.5 gigabit Ethernet. Looks very good for your use case.

Any B450/early ryzen build.

I have a Gigabyte 450I with a 2700x and it has an m.2 NVMe slot, gigabit Ethernet, usb 3.1, and 4 sata ports.
