Steam Machine Query NAS Newbie 11/12/2025 (Wed) 20:45:20 No. 1773
Could the newly announced Steam Machine technically work well as a NAS? The specs were just announced but I'm assuming Steam OS has all the capabilities of a NAS but I'm not sure and new to all this.

>>1773 Yeah, but not a good one. It only has a single M.2 slots for expandability, so you may want to look elsewhere. You might want to look into one of those ARM-based linux boxes, if you want a lot of M.2 slots in a small form factor though. I can't think of any off the top of my head though...

It would be much cheaper to just plug in a bunch of external HDDs to an old laptop and stuff it under your desk. That's your NAS. Not fancy, but it works.

>>1788 Very true. With new details coming out and more time to think about it I realized it wasn't a good choice. I'll keep looking into more options
