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.

    yes, and that consistency is not guaranteed on the second-gand market either.

      A mini pc from a reputable brand second hand is certainty more constant than aliexpress.

        I’d argue that it certainly isn’t. Possibly the previous owner ran it under heavy loads, constantly, resulting in a degrading of the components.

        Or they themselves were unfortunate to receive a faulty unit that started to misbehave randomly, and are now selling it after the warranty period.
