Hi All!

Am looking for some options please for an HDD or SSD to put into my NUC i5 gen10. The link is below:

I have already got a 512GB M.2 SSD, but there is another space for a 2.5” 7mm SATA SSD/HDD.

Does anyone have any ideas?

I am running Linux Mint and using it for plex mainly.

Preferably the biggest storage the better, I read online that the HDD with 2.5”/7mm don’t really go past 4tb, so if I want to go above that do I need to get a SSD?

I have seen a few drives that could work:

    That’s a good idea about getting something bigger in the m.2 slot, I got the SSD for free from a friend and that’s where I’ve installed my OS. How would I go about swapping it out? I wouldn’t want to reinstall everything. Thanks in advance

      Use any good disk cloning/imaging software, I recommend Macrium reflect free which though now discontinued is still good enough for general usage in typical scenarios. In fact if a good deal comes on Black Friday then it is one of the rare windows software that is worth buying.
