Not I, though I am seriously tempted to get one as my daily driver PC. My work laptop died late last year after myriad issues with win 11, WSL and Docker, all of which I needed to do my job. I manged to get a M3 Macbook pro as a replacement.... OMG it is so much better. Stuff just works! And its faster and actually portable.

Thats one thing I don't quite have my head around with these Mac Mini's. The storage expansion options. Buying one with a large SSD built-in is super pricy, how well does these NVEM hubs work with a Mac Mini & MacOS?

Also what options have you got for using large arrays of spinning rust i.e. RAID with normal HDDs?

Anyhow glad you are loving yours, might be getting one myself once life has calmed down and a few other major financial things are out of the way.
