Depends on what you need it for. If it’s just a NAS with a few containers, more than enough. I’ve not heard anything bad about the brand, and I know more than a few people with them.

Good call and good to hear you’ve not heard anything bad about the brand. Going to use it as a NAS, few VMs (Debian with Docker and NixOS dev env) and a Plex LXC (might move to Docker), but I aim to move my PiHole to it and want to try more distros in test environments. Biggest reason for an upgrade is the potential to transcode more content, the Mini struggles (fine on Direct Play) and also the NIC is flakey so it’s using a USB adapter right now. I probably borked it replacing the HDD with a SSD, it was a nightmare to open. Not sure if I’m ready to pull the trigger, but if my hardware died, I’d maybe go this route!

Looking through some of the notes there, some things to consider:

The biggest question mark there is kernel driver compatibility if you’re running a Linux distro. I’d check around. There are also other vendors with similar form factors and price that DO have hot swappable drives. Maybe something to consider.

Toot

Thanks for the heads up…

Most of the videos I’ve seen online are using Proxmox which is my goal. Just trying to decide if $400 before tax without any memory or storage is a good deal or if I should just build a box.

Critical…technically no. Shutting down your NAS, putting in a replacement, and waiting for the disk array to come back online is trade-off.
