Since I bought my N6005 board, Topton came out with multiple N100, N305, i5-12450H boards on aliexpress, but they somehow hide informations about SATA port speeds.
I have 6 sata ports and use 4 of them, but they seemed slow, and found out Topton sometimes uses a slow PCIE3 x1 connection speed, totalling a whopping 128MB/s speed for sata ports making my 250MB/s seagate drives totally useless.
After upgrading my camera setup from 4 to 8 cameras in Frigate, the CPU does not seems to be enough (coral AI+GPU accelerators and CPU are around 95-100% usage), and there will be an additional doorbell camera in a a few weeks, so it is time to upgrade.

This i5-12450H CPU and newer GPU should be enough, and the M2 NVME with PCIE 4x4 would be a dream come true, but I can't find any information about sata port speeds and I really don't want to bottleneck my Seagate Exynos drives again, does anyone have information about this, or can suggest a different board in this price category?
I use 1 USB2.0 for Zigbee, 1 USB3.0 for external HDD, 1NVME for Western Digital NAS SSD (PCIE4x4 would utilize its speed fully) and 1 NVME for Coral AI (this can be slower), 4 sata ports with 250MB/s. Also I would use 2 2.5gbps ports in Proxmox as a switch (my PC and router)
