    Beelink Mini S12 Pro Mini PC, 12th Gen Intel-N100 (4C/4T, Up to 3.4GHz), 16GB RAM DDR4 500GB PCle SSD, Mini Desktop Computer 4K@60Hz, Dual Display, WiFi6, BT5.2, USB3.2, LAN, Low Power https://a.co/d/dxxV7yK

    I got something similar - it takes a little bit of elbow grease to get Linux running well on it due to the very new chipset (just the wifi/BT drivers though so if you only plan to hardwire, no issues)

    Really ridiculously low power draw too.

      Yeah,I used the same Beelink for my absolutely legal Plex setup. In my case it was getting drivers for HW video encoding working. Fantastic little machine in the end.

      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!
