I have done a change on my N150-mini computer “GMKtec G3 Plus”.
It has two M.2 slots: one is 2280 PCIe, the second is 2240 SATA.
It is not so easy to find a big 2240 M.2 SATA to use as internal storage of your local music.
Therefor I reconfigured the “GMKtec G3 Plus” so that RoonOS is on a small (250GB) SATA 2240 M.2 drive. Than I had the possibility to install a big 4TB M.2 PCIe 2280 as internal storage. Those 2280 SSDs are much easier to find in whatever capacity one wants.
And the Roon server remains very snappy, fast and reliable. No difference encountered compared to the RoonOS on the PCIe-slot and the music on the SATA-slot.
Now I am totally pleased with this “budget”-roon server. The “GMKtec G3 Plus” barebone is for the moment only $119.99 at gmktec.com !
Enjoy the music, Frank.
