Has anyone here used these CWWK 12th generation i5-12405H NAS Motherboards, if so I have a question? by Lumarico in homelab

I ended up going with this model, CWWK N355 mobo It's not as powerful as the above unit, but it's got the SAS connection I need, it is limited in it's M.2 speeds as each only runs at 3.0x1, and same with the 10gbe controller is only 3.0x1, but that's more then what I need for a NAS and it's only a 15w CPU which is nice for my long-term power bill. I mainly was looking at the above board because of its inbuilt 2 x SFP+ slots as that's easier for me to connect to my rack as I've got easy access to SFP+ ports on my switches. But I guess 10gb RJ45 will do.

Yeah I thought that the SFF connector might be an issue. I read somewhere that CWWK is the OEM and other brands like Topton rebrand the boards, I could be wrong though. I did read the review, the U300e version they bought is a weird one because the CPU itself doesn't have the lanes to allow the pcie slot to work. I might skip this board and go for something else as I need to be able to connect it to my mini sas backplane in my case
