Looking for ideas for a HDD/SSD to put into my NUC gen10
Hi All!
Am looking for some options please for an HDD or SSD to put into my NUC i5 gen10. The link is below:
I have already got a 512GB M.2 SSD, but there is another space for a 2.5” 7mm SATA SSD/HDD.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I am running Linux Mint and using it for plex mainly.
Preferably the biggest storage the better, I read online that the HDD with 2.5”/7mm don’t really go past 4tb, so if I want to go above that do I need to get a SSD?
I have seen a few drives that could work:

You're viewing a single thread.
Idk about AUS specifically, but you can generally get a 5TB external spinner for $90-$100 that you can Velcro to the top of your NUC. Minimal size and works great, runs direct off USB power. No way would I pay for a 8TB SSD in there.
4TB SSD bottom out around $150 (US again) and would be perfectly good for Plex (don't need quality for that), but again it's a cost issue.
I'd also consider something larger than a 512gb m.2; that's a lot of wasted space and 2TB-4TB m.2 is just as cheap as SSD.
That’s a good idea about getting something bigger in the m.2 slot, I got the SSD for free from a friend and that’s where I’ve installed my OS. How would I go about swapping it out? I wouldn’t want to reinstall everything. Thanks in advance
Use any good disk cloning/imaging software, I recommend Macrium reflect free which though now discontinued is still good enough for general usage in typical scenarios. In fact if a good deal comes on Black Friday then it is one of the rare windows software that is worth buying.
