Thanks you are right and that is good news for the Nucleus 
.
On another Dutch site (Wilbert) I also found the €499,- but “sold out”, I guess just to be sure that no one is ordering it already.
Wifimedia (importer) is not very up to date.
I once needed an iFi iDefender that was sold out worldwide and found one dealer (Lexicon) had them first before everyone else.
So lets keep looking out for the Nucleus.

Hi everyone! I’ve ordered my Nucleus One and was wondering if anyone had an internal drive they recommend. @Suedkiez did mention on a post here that the Samsung QVO should be a good option. Any thoughts?
There is no specific requirements for the internal drive other than the physical form factor (2.5in less than 15mm thick) and interface (SATA).
The QVO SSDs are relatively cheap and go up to 8TB in capacity but they are not the only suitable choice.
Performance wise, any HDD or SSD will be fine.
The use pattern with a Nucleus is not demanding and will not cause premature wear (usually files are written to the drive once and then only ever read).

What @Wade_Oram said, there are others too but you can’t go wrong with the Samsung and the QVO is good choice for the purpose
Truly appreciate your answers @Wade_Oram and @Suedkiez. I’ll probably go with the Samsung QVO then, but I’ll see what I can get tomorrow at Prime Day.
We aren’t sell the Nucleus One through any resellers and have been sending cease and desists to take down these pages as they pop up.
Same goes for anyone selling the Nucleus Titan.

Just repurpose your Mac mini and stick Unbuntu on it and your good to go.
when and how to get the Nucleus One in Europe please?
I think with the One Roon serves audiophiles like me who don’t want to spend many thousands of €/$ on this “bits-are-bits” part of the audio chain that sits close to the router. I will buy a One as soon as it is on the European market to release my audiophile high end player from the computing task and don’t have to be worried any more with all kinds of future upgrades on that machine that cost several “One”’s and would have the machine to be sent to a far place with all the customs stress. I read Roon was designed to have the quality components close to the dac and keep the rest kind of cheaply mass produced. So I hope to find out soon if that is true. There will be a good switch in between (Netgear GS108 €29,- 
).

I moved from a Mac Mini to a ROCK the performance is significantly better.
I’ve completely given up on one here in Sydney - dealers know nothing, can’t get a response from the main distributor. Nothing.

same here in Austria/Europe
It’s a work in progress:

My Mac is running Linux not osx which is rock. No real difference
Why are high street dealers no longer selling Nucleus products? I always thought having a shop presence was good for visibility, especially for the less tech savy. 1 of the demographics
purchasing a pre made server.
II’m afraid it would become a €1000,- product (without the software), sitting there next to blinking aluminum cased other hogh-end streamers. Let the stores sell the Roon-ready stuff and let us buy the Nucleus cheap 
, we already know what it can do so don’t need advice from a salesman.

I didn’t think of the markup, valid point.
Is there an advantage to getting a Nucleus One over what I currently have?
My setup:
- Intel NUC 11，Intel Core i7-1165G7 4-Core, 2.8 GHz – 4.7 GHz Turbo，8 Thread, 12MB Cache
- with a 8GB Single DDR4 2400 MT/S
-
- SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 250GB NVMe M.2 Internal Solid State Drive (just to house the server software)
It depends on your workflow - whether you have DSP, the kind of DSP and the number of simultaneous zones with DSP - but since you’re asking this in a very general way, the answer is probably no 
One question though: what do you mean by “8GB Single DDR4”? Do you have a single DIMM? You need an even number of DIMMs to take advantage of Dual Data Rate memory, so if you have only one, you should get another identical one and install it in the correct slot. That would increase your RAM to 16GB, increase its speed and potentially speed up metadata searches.

Correct as far as the effect of the second DIMM is concerned but wrong in detail.
You need two DIMMS to take advantage of Dual Channel memory which the NUC11 supports (as do almost all modern motherboard/processor combinations).
DDR (Dual Data Rate) simply means that data is clocked in/out of the RAM on both edges of the clock signal so you get two transactions per clock.
With a single DIMM, each ‘transaction’ reads or writes 8 bytes (64 bits). With two DIMMs present, each transaction reads or writes 16 bytes (128 bits).
