I haven’t personally opened it up, but it does internally use a replaceable m.2 NVME SSD according to the info that came with it, so you should be able to.
Yeah, in my case I host my hard drives on a cheap ARM Synology NAS and an external drive plugged into an M1 Mac Mini running Asahi. Just have an external SSD plugged into the Jellyfin server as a cache/transcodes drive
It’s pretty sweet. I went the other way, starting on a Pi 4, moved up to a cheap ($110) Celeron N3350 device, then finally this little beast when I started getting HDR content and needing to transcode with tonemapping. 4 times the RAM, double the cores and it’s just way faster in general.

I get both with one of these
Super low wattage at idle but it transcodes like a beast using QSV
Wow, that’s pretty slick. Thanks, you may have just solved one of my project plans.
At that price/performance, it would supplant 4 Raspberry Pis I was planning on using for a variety of tasks.
I’ve been lazily running a gaming desktop as a “server” for far too long. Trying to reduce power consumption now.
And you’re able to transcode 4k with that? 1080p with hardware offload isn’t surprising, but 4k really requires some extra horsepower.
EDIT: Maybe I’m wrong, seems like quicksync even on a Celeron has gotten pretty good.
Yep, 4k to 4k tonemapping, even, which was one of the use-cases my previous Celeron N3350 server couldn’t handle (it got ~14 fps)
This is really good, do you know if I can plug my 4tb m2 ssd in there? If yes, I’m moving tomorrow😁
Check that it uses the same interface for the M2 slot as your SSD (PCIe vs SATA).
It does. What concerns me is the sign “up to 2TB”. And I don’t understand if it is a limitation of preinstalled os or hardware.

That would be conceivable, but I would like to pack my existing HDDs in a case if possible

It’d also be perfect for light desktop use IMO
