3 Things to Know About the ASRock DeskMini X300’s Storage Setup

One NVMe slot, two SATA ports The DeskMini X300 has a single M.2 NVMe slot (PCIe 3.0 x4) and two SATA 6Gb/s ports for 2.5-inch drives. This prioritizes bulk SATA storage over a second NVMe slot.

Two 7mm drives fit in one bay The chassis holds up to two 7mm-thick 2.5-inch drives in a single bay. That is unusual for a system this small.

Choose this if SATA bulk storage matters more If you need lots of cheap, high-capacity SATA storage rather than a second fast NVMe drive, this layout is a win.
