i’m planning to purchase a nucleus+ to use as the source in my music system. this will replace a mac mini and external hard-drive.
-
to avoid the use of an external drive, can i install my (rather large) music library (9000 albums, ~ 3tb) on an internal SSD? currently i see the maximum size of such drives is 4tb. is this is sufficient, or should i wait for the availability of larger drives?
-
how difficult is it to install an internal ssd? is there a guide for loading one’s music library onto this hardware? is it possible to order a nucleus+ with the ssd pre-installed?
-
i understand that the nucleus+ is purely a music server, that it doesn’t run the roon gui, and that’s fine with me. but what do people use to host the roon gui? the ipad interface is ok in a pinch (i use it now for remote access to my mini), but for regular use i prefer the full gui i now run on my mini, with keyboard, mouse, and display. this means reintroducing fan-noise into the setup, as well as purchasing a fairly pricey component.

assuming that i go the mac-mini route for the roon client software, what is the minimum ram requirement?
