There is no point in using the internal slot If you have more than 2TB of music so I would not worry about that if that is the case.
I don’t see any reference to the supported model NUC’s and unless it is one of the NUC models supported by ROCK as per the KB post here then you might want to think twice as unsupported models are just that and could become obsoleted for ROCK at any point in time despite the fact they might work initially.
Not sure how you reached that conclusion. According to the KB post the entire line of 7th gen Core iX NUCs is fully supported.
Yes, it’s the 6th generation i7 (Skull Canyon) that’s not supported; 7th generation i7 (Kaby Lake) is supported.
My bad, you are correct, 7th Generation is supported, poor transcription skills on my part.

I think something like this the Mediasonic ProBox HF2-SU3S2 4 Bay 3.5” SATA HDD Enclosure – USB 3.0 & eSATA would work as an attached set of drives and the cost is less than a Nas and you could possibly even Daisy chain 2 of them although I don’t know if this would work
