Question about replacing/expanding a disk
I have a small mini pc as server similar to [1], which has a super nice small form and has an internal slot for a 2.5" ssd disk. Currently I have a 2TB SSD, but it is filling up rapidly.
My options are:
- Buy a way more expensive 8TB SSD and replace the existing one
- Buy a much cheaper 8TB HDD + enclosure and connect it via USB.
I wonder what are the pros and cons of each option. I like 1 more because the form factor of the homelab is maintained and I don’t need to plug yet another thing. OTOH I’m allergic to spending money 😆 so a cheaper solution (about 4 times cheaper) is always welcome.
Maybe I’m missing a third alternative? Opinions?
