I came across the Qnap wiki[1], it doesn't mention the Qnap TS-431 and TS-431+
Does anybody know about these, for better or worse? The specs[2] say the TS-431+ chipset is an Annapurna Labs Alpine AL-212 dual-core 1.4GHz processor. It has 1GB RAM, 512MB flash, 4 hot-swap bays, 2 Gigabit ethernet ports and 3x USB3 I did a search for other boxes using the same chipset and came across the Synology DiskStation DS215+ (2 bay) and DS416 (4-bay) with similar specs to the Qnap. I also came across a price comparison site that lets people search by chipset[3] Can these be operated with 100% free software, no binary firmware blobs? Is the hardware encryption supported by Debian? Web sites mention it can do AES-256 in hardware. 1. https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebianOn/QNAP 2. https://www.qnap.com/i/en/product/model.php?II=171&event=2 3. https://skinflint.co.uk/?cat=hdxnas&v=e&hloc=uk&sort=t&xf=3042_Annapurna+Labs+AL-212~3042_Annapurna+Labs+AL-314~3042_Annapurna+Labs+AL-514#xf_top
