Question regarding these mini pcs: how do you connect them to plain old hard drives ? Is thunderbolt / usb these days reliable enough to run 24/7 without disconnects like an onboard sata?

Would you not simply buy a regular NAS?

Why buy a tiny, m.2 only mini-NAS if your need is better met by a vanilla 2-bay NAS?

power regularly hits 50 cents a kilowatt hour where I live. Most of those seem to treat power like its free.
