(I assume M.2 cards are the same, but have not confirmed.) If this isn’t running 24/7, I’m not sure I would trust it with my most precious data. Also, these things are just begging for a 10Gbps Ethernet port, since you're going to lose out on a ton of bandwidth over 2.5Gbps... though I suppose you could probably use the USB-C port for that.
