NUC for NAS
I'm wondering if a NUC of type DCCP847DYE would be a good basis for a home-made NAS and basic web server? I would like to run FreeBSD on it with ZFS for expanding storage. And how would i be able to add more storage, physically, as i went along?
Personally, I think the CPU is a tad on the slow side. But if REALLY ONLY NAS and SIMPLE webserver, it's just about do-able. Adding storage has to be done with USB or NAS, as you can see that the small box doesn't have big upgrade paths available.

Yes, it's not a meaty processor but it's replacing this one, which has served well for many years in the same role
I was thinking i could use PCIe in the box with a special adapter for n drives - do you think that's feasible?
