Rebuilding a homelab NAS to 6 TB with NVMe SSDs can reduce size and cost.
All three mini NAS models use an Intel N100/N150 chip, offer multiple M.2 NVMe slots, and 2.5 Gbps networking.
GMKtec G9 is the most affordable but had overheating issues in its first revision.
Aiffro K100 is smallest, quietest, and most energy-efficient but lacks eMMC, WiFi, and has only one 2.5 Gbps port.
Beelink ME mini offers six NVMe slots (five at x1 and one at x2), built-in eMMC and power supply, and strong cooling, though bandwidth per slot is limited.
No single mini NAS is best; choice depends on priorities like price, cooling, expandability, and power efficiency.
