Running AI on the Topton N22 8-bay 10GbE NAS motherboard (N150 / i3-N300)

It can, with limits: expect small models only, at modest speed. Models run on its CPU cores, and this configuration leaves about 12.0 GB for them after the NAS system and its storage services. The grades below assume the NAS isn’t busy with backups or media work at the same time. More memory is the upgrade that matters most: see the configurations.
