I managed to get a NAS server new in the box, I know it's old hardware. It is enough for my needs. I'm looking for firmware for it. The exact model of this NAS server is not even specified anywhere. Please help me find the firmware for it

    Which model EasyStore is it? IIRC most used the old Windows Home Server OS, which hasn't really been supported for close to ten years…

    I mean exactly the model in the photo, and it's probably not a Windows system but one dedicated to this model.

    The model number isn't shown in the photo, and Acer shipped a bunch of different models that looked like that over the years. Usually there's a sticker on the back that holds the SN and includes the full model number…

    here is a picture of one of the stickers on it. I don't know anything else about it except that it works.

    You are right, it's not one of the later models that ran Windows Home Server, it was the very first model with the Wireless Router functions built in. Vintage 2007… I'm afraid that firmware is no longer available for it. The "Alpha WMP-G11" sticker is for the WiFi. It does 802.11b/g, so not really fast enough for almost all current Internet technology. I expect the Ethernet on it will be 100Mb.

    Strangely enough, the LAN port is Gigabit, read and write speed at 20MB/s. I currently have 4 disks in it, 1x1.5T and 3x1T. It doesn't even overheat because it signals a temperature of 40 degrees Celsius. But this is a 1-task NAS server, more operations on it at the same time load it a lot and slow it down.

    That makes sense, when I worked at Intel in the network products division back in the late 90s and early oughts we were shipping 1GB products at the high end, so by 2007 they would be easily found at the consumer level.
