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.

      I haven’t updated bios on my main pc ever since I built it… so I think the concerns you’re talking about are more hit than miss.

          You’re comparing apples to oranges here and this has literally nothing to do with the hardware that was mentioned in this thread. They all have soldered mobile CPUs. The N100, N305, 4700u, etc.

              I’m sure if I dig deep enough, I might find threads like these for any hardware.

              Just look at Apple. Their MacBook lineup has been a mess since 2016, and they are a “reputable” and overpriced non-aliexpress company.

              And yes, you’re fucked if you buy something from Ali and it turns out faulty. But you’re also fucked if you buy second-hand. The risk of loss is equal.
