If all you want is an extra drive for your PC then just get an extra drive. How much data/files are you planning to put on this SSD ? The closer an SSD gets to being full, the faster it starts wearing out. If you are going to make it a Nas, I would put a bigger drive in it.. think of the nuc as a mini PC that you can dedicate to some task, whether it's a Nas, a home theater, or an everyday system for browsing and reading mail. I wouldn't recommend it for gaming. Though it could probably run some simple games. On Thu, Apr 30, 2020, 7:52 AM Michael via PLUG-discuss < plug-discuss@lists.phxlinux.org> wrote: > NAS?
