We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

Question: Would I be able to use an Atom D5xx series cpu to run say, a 6-8 drive nas?

thanks for the help
 
Yup. Lots of people do. Plenty of CPU for simple NAS, WHS, etc. Might not be able to handle ZFS very well.

You might want to look at specialized Atom MBs for this rather than the Intel reference design. Try this one: SuperMicro Atom. It already has 6 SATA-II ports and dual real-Intel NICs. Only real downside is the offbeat form factor (a bit wider than standard mITX).
