So this is Guru3D, existing out of hard fetishist -- thus we take the unit apart. The backside of the motherboard PCB is covered with plastic protection. The top side first, as you can see there is an SSD located up top.

You can remove it with four screws, this is obviously the Kingston SSD NOW 300 series, a 60 GB unit. The run an SATA3 LSI controller and can manage up-to 450 MB/sec on reads and writes, so that is a perfect choice for internal storage.

Looking up top to bottom we see the motherboard, sitting in the middle is a Atom D2701 dual-core processor. For a NAS unit this is enough processor power.

When we remove the PCB we see a non-standard form factor motherboard holding memory which will be easy to replace if needed (recommended for the W4000 end-users with just 2 GB SODIMM memory). This processor allows a total of 8GB RAM.

Flipping the PCB we can look a little closer to the back-panel connectors. Two gigabit jacks, two USB 3.0, one ESATA, DSUB and HDMI, one audio jack and all the way to the right the power connector.
