Hey folks, I'm just getting started and looking at hardware options. I'm leaning toward one of these Beelink options but I can't find any info online about HA on the ME mini NAS. I know it's possible but I'd like to know what experienced people would recommend, the mini PC or the mini NAS.

Well do you want a mini PC or a mini Nas really
That's (mostly) the entire difference

There are no differences in HA OS installation options?

No it's doesn't matter how many drives you can attach

I currently have HA installed on a synology nas in a docker and running into limitations, so I was a bit worried this mini nas would also have limitations
restive thunder
There are limitations as with any other hardware

What do you want to do with the device?
I don't know yet cause I'm just getting started, but I wanna make sure I won't run into stuff like not being able to install add-ons or that it's too slow

Depends on the addons but it's generally a good enough machine. Even to virtualize HAOS on which I highly recommend: https://gist.github.com/Impact123/c23c36eafe1672ec056233e450a86ae2

Whichever device I buy, I will only use it for home assistant probably, so it's good to know I can't go wrong with either. Thanks for your responses 🙂
Also glad to have found out about the miniPC option in the server cause I already had a yellow in my shopping cart.
