Which is better for a NAS or storage server?

The Tyan, on paper. It has 14 SATA interfaces and 2 M.2 slots against 8 SATA3 ports on the Supermicro. It also costs less at the listed prices.

Which is better for GPU or NVMe expansion?

The Supermicro lists 5 PCIe 4.0 x16 slots plus 2 PCIe 4.0 x8 slots. The Tyan lists 5 PCIe x16 slots. If you need the extra x8 lanes, the Supermicro is the safer pick.

Does the Tyan have remote management like IPMI?

The given specs do not list IPMI or a BMC for the Tyan. The Supermicro H12SSL-I explicitly lists IPMI/BMC. If out-of-band management matters, confirm with the seller before buying the Tyan.

Is the Supermicro worth the extra money?

It costs $760.00 against $551.57, about $208 more. That buys documented IPMI/BMC and a 2TB registered ECC memory ceiling. If you do not need remote management, the Tyan saves money.

Do both support EPYC 7003 and 3D V-Cache parts?

Both list EPYC 7002 and 7003 support on Socket SP3. The Tyan spec explicitly names 7003 with AMD 3D V-Cache. Check the CPU support list for the exact SKU before buying either.

How much memory can each take?

The Supermicro lists up to 2TB registered ECC DDR4 3200 across 8 slots. The Tyan spec list says 512GB RDIMM, while its description says 2TB RDIMM/LRDIMM. Confirm the Tyan figure with the seller if you plan large DIMMs.
