Well, I expect that we'll be using these NUCs for perhaps 7 years. I don't know how my needs will change over that period. I went for some flexibility:
- tall NUC cases so that I could put both an m.2 SSD and a SATA drive (SSD or HD) in them.
- big 1TB SSDs rather than boot drives. I could migrate my files and my wife's to the NAS in a comfortable way. My local SSD has been useful for temporary project storage. I recently had 338 GB of image backups and such on that 1 TB drive. I keep photos on my local SSD until I've selected, edited and winnowed them.
- wireless keyboard and mouse. NUCs have only 4 USB ports, so managing connections requires thought.
- fewer USB audio connections. I have only one working USB DAC connected to my NUC. (The transmitter end of a wireless DAC is connected to allow me to park the Windows default playback device on something other than the DAC that I actually use. A lot of webpages now start up videos with sound without my permission. They defeat Windows muting by adjusting volume. UGLY!)
