I’m building a 10" rack with a 5 disk jbod and want to use a mini PC to run unraid. I’d prefer to avoid using an itx motherboard open in the rack so considering a mini PC.

As its running on unraid usb i wont need the m.2 nvme slot so wondering if anyone has used an m.2 to SATA adapter on any of these with success?

If not then im thinking potentially the lenovo M720q with the pcie riser and sticking either a hba or a sata adapter on there instead.

Thought i would ask before i bite the bullet.

Not concerned about physical space in the mini pc in terms of clearance as i can remove the top
