Comment on What's your recommendation for a small NAS?

I have an older HP Elitedesk 8300 SFF that can handle 3x 3.5" drives, 2x 2.5" drives, and boot from an M.2 NVMe on a PCIE adapter card (I modded the BIOS). But that’s limited to 3rd gen Intel 🫤

Personally I agree. I don’t use the SFF. oP asked for something tiny though.

Right, but asking for 2-4 drive bays…
🤔
A PCI-E expansion board full of M.2 NVME drives might do the trick.
