The N100 has a 6.4% lower passmark score than the N97 in the base model ($99). This seems like a good competitor to those Topton motherboards from Aliexpress (~$160) that are so common in DIY NAS builds. Most of these CPUs don't have enough PCIe lanes to service all physical connectors, this is solved by using chips that split the lanes over multiple connectors. However, some chips/layouts cause problems with C-states or reduced bandwidth. Does someone know if that is the case here?
EDIT: The normal model doesn't have any SATA connectors.
