ODROID-H4+ - an x86-64 Intel N97 board with four SATA ports and dual 2.5GbE for an all-in-one Home Assistant OS and NAS host

Quick verdict

A favourite all-in-one for people who want Home Assistant and a NAS in one low-power box. The Intel N97 is plenty for HAOS (installed via the Generic x86-64 path), and four SATA ports plus dual 2.5GbE make it a real little server. Add a USB Zigbee/Thread dongle for radios. One caveat right now: stock has been intermittent due to an Intel N-series CPU supply pause, so check availability before counting on it.

Standout: An x86-64 Intel N97 board with four SATA ports and dual 2.5GbE - a capable all-in-one Home Assistant OS plus NAS host.
