        Yes, we tested some of them (see https://xcp-ng.org/docs/ecosystem.html#edge-computing ).

        Eager to know what about the Asrock 4x4 Box 4800u

          XCP-ng works on most hardware. I have a (literal) pile of HP ProDesk mini pc's on my desk, stacked on top of a Synology NAS for shared storage. Great little cluster, works perfectly. Only downside is: only one NIC, so you have to shared storage over the same NIC as the normal network.

            @haribo112 You could use USB NICs for additional PIFs if needed to seperate network and backup traffic. This comes at a price, but nevertheless works 😁

              @gskger I could. I also have a very janky solution laying around, in the form of a Mini PCIe to PCIe adapter that could replace the ProDesk's Wifi card. I could then plug in a bog standard Intel PRO/1000e Quad Nic card. Haven't got around to trying that though.
