N100 Mini PC w/ 3xNVMe? (feddit.nl)

Not sure why this doesn't exist. I don't need 12TB of storage. When I had a Google account I never even crossed 15GB. 1TB should be plenty for myself and my family. I want to use NVMe since it is quieter and smaller. 2230 drives would be ideal. But I want 1 boot drive and 2 x storage drives in RAID. I guess I could potentially just have 2xNVMe and have the boot partition in RAID also? Bonus points if I can use it as a wireless router also.

Using USB3 / USBC external storage for years.

Buy a good, non cheap, USB jbod or raid enclosure and put SSDs in it!

I have a 4 bay USB3 jbod plus a 2 bay USB-C box, inside the disks are all RAID.

Indeed internal disks / ssds / nvme are better, but consider that speed wise even USB3 is faster than any WiFi.

Just don't but they cheap and use good cables. And if you use spinning disks, ensure they stay cool.

Can you link the 4 bay that you have. I’ve been thinking of getting a 4+ bay recently but have no idea where to start.
