I'm a little clueless when it comes to motherboards, they all seems so similar to me, but this seems pretty solid if you think this will also be plenty powerful enough for streaming too.

Any reason you're going for just 1 m.2 drive then a second slow hard drive, rather than 2 x m.2's or even an m.2 and an SSD?

I think that’s perhaps just because that’s what I’ve done in the past. I mainly just use my 2nd drive for storing thing that I need, but don’t access regularly. But I’ll admit, that was another point I question every time I look through it.

If it purely is for storage and you're not going to be running any programs and/or games from it, then sure. You just will notice how slow it is vs. your m.2 drive (speaking from experience! :)), and if you have the budget I'd be tempted to go with an SSD instead:

I’ll have a play around with the build and see how the cost looks. But the more I rink about it. I quite like the way junior configured that build with a smaller m.2 for the OS and presumably other system processes and then a bigger dedicated m.2 that can be used excukusincly for games and the like. Then I can see where my budget sits for a Storage drive.

Yeah that's the recommended configuration. Keep the smaller drive just for windows or a limited number of program installs.. then put everything else on the other drive so if in the event you end up having to reinstall windows, you don't have to redownload/setup everything else.
