Hi everyone. Not sure if it belongs on this sub but since its data related I'd figure I'd ask

Recently came into contact with some Lacie Equipment mostly empty enclosures. 2Big NAS (has board and trays, works thoughits in comparison to other setups a fancy file server/downloader D2 Thunderbolt/USB (stuck an 8TB in it recently) 2Big Network v1 (attempted to revive it as the nice old man said it was dead, it indeed is not and attempts to boot) This model was before LaCie included bootloaders to do installs on the disks for the NAS OS. B ut with out an image jthere is very little info out there for an install.

Which leads me to the thought of simply replacing the 2B Network board with an atom based braswell board (fanless), Was going to do a 2010 Mac mini board but it was too long on oneside (I will get to the size contstraint later). Its a good solid case with tray ability and a backplane that has sata already in place.

The goal is to have a LaCie 5 disk "Uber" NAS that offers availability, backup and cloud sync.

If you refer to the images along with these 3 a lacie mini rack was included. https://www.performanceaudio.com/images/products/420/1500/40577_2_sq.jpg

So the plan was to moujnt all 3 as one "tower" that woiuld be virtually silent as the casing on the Lacie enclosures act as a heatsink for dissapation.

Have the D2 for monthly backups the 2Big Nas as a RAID 0 workspace/ storage and the 2Big Network with replaced board as the brain running Linux /Win with the drive bays in Raid 1 config.

So it would look lile this stacked:

Last resort is using a conpute stick type device (fanless) but "current" N3150 or j1900 CPUs are strong enough for transcoding and use intel Quick Sync.

I need a board that fits the maximum constraint of 4.75 x 6 x ~1-1.125 inches (this part is the mosjt important as it will sit between the boards. The following is not to scale

If you notice in the images I posted that there is "shelf" space available so I could just put a stick up there but then would need Sata to USB conversion for the backplane. https://www.technogog.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/windowslivewriterlac5externalnetworkattachedstoragehardd-9668dscf8694-2.jpg

Anyone know of good speced SOC boards that have the chips mentioned or similar? Fanless preferred because of dimension but if a fan can fit there as well that would be great.
