Interesting. Rather it be a unit without a drive sticking out of the top, but could put it in a box I guess!

Well it's arrived, and it's a fairly well built unit.
US power supply though.
One large issue, ethernet doesn't seem to be working
:@
Wifi does, but don't want to risk installing openwrt if ethernet is screwed.

Same model #, not sure if it's the same device (video shows attempting to connect via mobile app):

WiFi was working fine.
Device is now bricked after I tried to install OpenWRT
:'D
I'll have to wait until I'm near my soldering iron to attach a serial adapter and sort it out.

Had you got the ethernet working, or did you decide to chance it?

Chanced it. Like the fool I am.
Confident I'll be able to at least return it to the state I got it in though. Maybe. We'll see. Already created a dispute on aliexpress since it wasn't functioning right at the start.

Currently trying to get a refund for the device and using it as a USB drive with a RPi 2 as the USB bit seems to run separately from the network side of things.
I've unsurprisingly come to the conclusion that it isn't the 90s and I can't cope with 100mbit transfer speeds.
I think a RPi 4 instead will be what I end up going for. Gigabit network and USB 3. May as well just order one now.

Pi4 arrived. Swapped the microSD from the Pi2 to the Pi4 and it booted perfectly first time.
Gigabit and USB3 speeds. Much better.

Good stuff. Any news on getting the brick refunded?

Got a partial refund. Appealed it. Not heard anything back otherwise.
