I haven't done that research - though I have the 2750 version in my FreeNAS Mini. I believe the key question you will have to answer is the ability of your case to accept an alternate board choice.
However, I believe that your first move should surely be to make a warranty claim - see here: https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...-and-poor-customer-service.45762/#post-310340. I would want to contact them and make sure that the replacement board would have the platform-level fix applied and not just be a stock MB supplied on a "fingers-crossed" basis. In that thread you will find an email address for "William" - by all reports he has always been helpful to people so you might try a note to him to understand what's being shipped as warranty replacements. Maybe somebody here will be able to tell us - I suspect that a fix to a board is likely readily identifiable ...
I have been hit by the same issue (see post here).
So is there a better MB option for HomeMade FreeNas servers to replace the ASRock Mini (C2550D4I) ?
There is no point of just replacing it with the same board if the issue if going to hit you again.
