Yes, spend $600 on an base iMac Mini then spend $800 on an TB SSD with $200 worth of NVME inside it because ... logic ???

Meanwhile a 12th-Gen NUC with 16GB RAM and 500GB SSD costs ~$240 on Amazon, and you can replace the internal RAM and SSD with whatever size and models you want.



A 1 TB NVME SSD is like $40 retail these days.


He said external TB SSDs not USB SSDs. Check how much those cost. TB SSD of 4TB is like $1000.


Hold on a sec. I said enclosure such as https://www.amazon.com/USB4-Enclosure-40Gbps-Compatible-Thun... Then you can put whatever nvme ssd you want. It'll most likely cost around $500 at most.
