I got a similar fanless PC that has an n305 processor, USB 3.2 and two m.2 slots. I'm trying to figure out how to use it as a nas for at least two 14tb drives + virtualization server, Plex server, arrs, home assistant, etc.

Do you use any drives connected to your beelink? I'm thinking about getting a DAS but they look kind of pricey and I've read horror stories about USB drives disconnecting. Seems like USB 3.2 speeds might help with that tho?

I am just a novice by comparison to many around here - aside from the built in 500GB I just have a single 5TB Seagate drive plugged in to USB. It holds all my Plex content and my photo backups. Haven't had any issues with USB disconnects so far!
