I don&#8217;t need space for multiple large disks because I now have a NAS. The CPUs that small-form-factor machines have, and the rise of affordable M.2 NVMe SSDs and SATA 2.5&#8243; SSDs make mini PCs suitable for most home tasks. Intel NUCs are popular choices, but what about other small PCs like the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3BtObd0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ASUS PN63-S1<\/a>? I recently got my hands on one. Let&#8217;s see how it stacks up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\"><em>This page contains affiliate links.

To be able to run a sufficient number of VMs for my environment, I went with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Ue1XJD\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">32 GB of Crucial DDR4 3200 Mhz RAM<\/a>. The beauty of this mini PC is that it has two slots for M.2 NVMe drives (in addition to a 2.5 SATA drive). I like to run the OS on one drive and the VMs off a separate drive and it&#8217;s great that they can both be fast storage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I bought a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Uh5cjo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">250 GB<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3RSdyfz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1 TB NVMe Gen4 M.2 Western Digital Black<\/a> drives to run the OS and VMs, respectively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking apart the ASUS PN63-S1 and installing drives and memory is pretty easy, as you can see in the pics below. You simply loosen the four screws and open the bottom up gently. There is a ribbon connecting the board connected to the base and the main housing. There are two clips at the top that you can use to release the ribbon to make it easier to install the RAM and storage.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-Insides-910x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Inside of ASUS PN61-S1\" class=\"wp-image-7870\" width=\"455\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-Insides-910x1024.jpg 910w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-Insides-267x300.jpg 267w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-Insides-768x864.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-Insides-1365x1536.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-Insides-1820x2048.jpg 1820w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-Insides.jpg 2016w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 455px) 100vw, 455px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The inside of the ASUS PN63-S1<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-MemStorageInstalled-609x1024.jpg\" alt=\"ASUS PN63-S1 memory and hard drive installed\" class=\"wp-image-7875\" width=\"305\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-MemStorageInstalled-609x1024.jpg 609w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-MemStorageInstalled-178x300.jpg 178w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-MemStorageInstalled-768x1292.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-MemStorageInstalled-913x1536.jpg 913w, https:\/\/hometechhacker.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/ASUSPN63-S1-MemStorageInstalled-1217x2048.jpg 1217w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 305px) 100vw, 305px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">ASUS PN63-S1 with memory and hard drives installed<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The M.2 slot inside the case is Gen4, while the one on the bottom of the case is Gen3. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>BTW, I went with the Intel Core\u2122 i5-11300H processor as I didn&#8217;t think the i7 would offer much noticeable performance benefit for my use and that allowed me to save a few dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">ASUS PN63-S1 in use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I installed Proxmox on this machine without incident.
