Steps to Upgrade Internal Storage Drive in Nucleus

Using a NAS as networked storage, compared to an SSD inside Nucleus:

  1. it’s another device to manage and set up
  2. it’s another failure point in the system, far more likely to require repair or maintenance than a non-moving SSD
  3. network storage doesn’t auto-scan in all situations, and network storage is notoriously dependant on great networking
  4. NAS tend to be noisy (fans and spinning drives) and power hungry solutions (another cpu, etc…)

While they do work, it is my opinion that a NAS is an inferior solution.

If you require fault tolerance, there are silent and less power hungry USB RAID enclosures.
