The software GUI looks like a Synology's DSM copy.

I didn't see where they mentioned WHO made the NICs.. are they Intel, Realtech, Maxwell, etc? Or some of each? Only that they could be bundled...

Also, was it ECC memory?

I can't find anything stating what NICs they use. I would prefer Intel though.

And it is not ECC RAM. Celerons do not support ECC. Only Xeons do.

There are plenty of non-Xeons that support ECC in Intel's product line. Core i3s, Pentiums, Celeron, Atoms. However, the Celeron J1900 (which is probably in this NAS) does not.

Granted, i was refering to the memory type. If it was ECC it would be a SO-CDIMM.

In the AS5102T model the pair of NICs is controlled by a couple of Broadcom ICs (BCM5778). This model has 4x Ethernet ports so for the second couple it might use different controllers.
