I have one of these things, though a slightly older model.

    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.

    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!
