Hey, I just got a nuc 6i7kyk used, and currently only have a 300gb ssd in it. I’m looking to build a nas mainly for media. I have a few questions:

Is usb connected storage bad for media usage, no vm:s or software here.
how would i connect a bunch of drives? is one usb 3 enough for hdd’s?
Should i consider another machine for the drives and use smb? such as a off the shelf nas.

Thanks for help and suggestions!
