What are you going to be using it for?

I would highly suggest staying away from USB enclosures.  95% of the time they work without issues but that other 5% is a nightmare and can absolutely destroy data.

Mainly looking for media (plex or jellyfin), home assistant and possibly family storage.

Any suggestions on other enclosures?

Being a mini-pc not really any options.  Im not saying you can't but its generally highly suggested not to across any platform like HexOS/TrueNAS/Unraid.

If more than one stream I would def get more RAM.  You have onboard video so it uses your RAM.  Which means less for system usage.
