^Yeah, HDDs definitely generate more heat (and consumes more power to go w/ that) compared to typical (non-NVMe) SSDs... and they're probably more susceptible to failure from that heat. All my non-NVMe SSDs (though none of them are M.2) run quite cool (usually around mid-20C's according to...

Ah, ok. That does make a big diff since only one USB port can be used that way. FWIW, I also wonder how well it manages heat/etc generated by an M.2 SSD (though maybe one could just go w/ a slower M.2 SSD that generates less heat? and whatever else?). That's probably something to be aware...

Curious. You previously mentioned wanting to use internal M.2 slot, but since something like this inevitably comes w/ USB ports (and even multiple, fast USB3 ports... looks like 2x USB-A + 1x USB-C), why not just use those instead? Don't really need faster than USB2 and certainly not faster...
