Hi,
I'm a huge fan of OMV but I'm feed up with Raspberry limitation, considering buying a Buffalo 421de NAS from eaby and flash OMV on it.
Is this duable? any tutorial on that?
I'm waiting on your reply before placing my bid
Thanks
OMV on Buffalo 421de NAS?

Quick search returns 'Marvell Armada 370 processor and 512MB of DDR3' so the adventure you're facing is called 'Armada370 debian' (do a web search) and after you managed to install Debian Stretch to it then install OMV on top. The hardware is ancient so better do not expect spectacular performance.

Please keep in mind if you're stumbling across installation procedures requiring serial console access and deal with other NAS models based on Marvell 370 that procedures on the Bufallo might be different (or you need to solder serial wires first and stuff like this). I called it 'adventure' for a reason.
It's definitely not 'flashing an SD card --> up and running'.

sounds like no option for me.
Any suggestion on cheap NAS to flash OMV on?
I was also checking zyxel personal cloud (FreeScale Dual Core Cortex-A9 1.2 GHz) -

ODROID HC1 or HC2 is my standard recommendation.

Well, there exist other SBC with an internal USB hub, e.g. the NanoPi M4 (4 USB3 ports behind an internal USB3 hub). Since USB3 storage especially with Linux is already such a sh*t show I would never try reliable NAS operation with a setup with several USB disks behind a hub but YMMV.
With USB2 you get a lot of SBC with up to four real USB ports without a hub in between. Some inspiration: Which energy efficient ARM platform to choose?
