ME mini - high temperatures on idle
Isn't that quite good? The SN700 is an enterprise class drive that is built for areas with plenty of cooling, they're known to get quite hot. Here's a quote from a review on Serve The Home: The WD Red SN700 1TB runs hot, very hot. During my thermal test the drive reached 80C, at which point I was a

10% wear on a new mini-PC SSD after 2 months – is this normal?
A WD Red SN700 would suffice, PLP drives don't always work in these low cost minis, as it require more AMPS, maybe the slot wouldn't provide enough. Even SN700 is rated 2.8A and may have problems if the slot is low quality, I had these problems with NUCXi7 from Minisforum and Chuwi RZBOX, only worke

So here's an interesting one... drive "failed" - but it's fine. What should I have checked before swapping it out?
What drive? This has been happening with WD SN700 drives for years, lots of reports of the drive suddenly disconnecting, suspected unfixed firmware issue. Seems to happen only with Linux. Drives are healthy. Not all drives are affected. Just reseating solved the problem for me at first, but around a

Problems with Beelink Mini Me - disks disappearing
The above config made it longer (surviving storage benchmarking and 14-15 hours of Frigate + a 2TB rsync), but still tanked.Based on u/Beelinksupport 's post in the comments I rebuilt yet again, this time trying OS on the WD SN700 in slot 4. I still have the wireless card physically removed, eMMC on

No warning if I remove a drive? FLASHSTOR 12 Pro Gen2 FS6812X
Thanks for the workaround, and guess what, I'm also using WD Red SN700 4TB NVMe drives... Seems like there is an issue with these because I also saw some discussion of similar issues with these drives and the older Gen 1 FlashStor units!I'm actually doing an experiment with the NAS now where I am re

Warning: Avoid ACASIS— Stick With OWC
Do NOT buy ACASIS. I bought 2 Thunderbolt 4 / USB 4 enclosures that FAILED. Hard drives get very, very hot. Probably around 70-80 degrees Celsius. Also the throughput for Thunderbolt 4 / USB-4 a meager 1GB/sec when using the NVMe M.2 slots with WD RED SN700 1TB SSD's. Trying to return the units for

ME Mini with 6x 4TB drives
Update: I did test successfully with 6x Lexar NM790 4TB (after having issues with the WD Red SN700 and after having received a replacement unit from beelink - beelink tested those drives successfully according to their reply here, so very likely my first unit was defective).

UGREEN DXP480T NVME - which drive ?
Depends what you use it for. For casual home use, not so critical to have NAS rated NVME like WD Red SN700. Samsung, crucial etc all solid. Heat dissipation is the issue with high performance NVME's, thats why Ugreen advise not to get carried away with latest generation. Ugreen list is what has been
