About This Video

In this Saturday morning livestream, I’m doing some real “get-ready-for-the-next-video” work: swapping boot and storage drives in three different mini PCs and installing Ubuntu Server on each of them. I need three Ubuntu servers up and running to properly demo an upcoming project (can’t spill the beans yet), so this stream is all about the practical prep—open the boxes, crack the cases, and get the drives in without losing screws in a dark mat. I walk through why I’m using a simple, budget-friendly approach with TEAMGROUP MP33 Gen3 NVMe drives (256GB for boot, 1TB for storage) even when these boxes support PCIe Gen4. For homelab servers, I’d rather be sensible than overspend for speed I won’t notice. We also compare some design differences between the mini PCs—like one having soldered RAM (boo) versus another having upgradeable SODIMMs (love that), plus little details like bottom fans versus built-in speakers. The takeaway: pick hardware that’s easy to service, keep your original OS drives safe, and Ubuntu Server is still my go-to baseline for clean, repeatable homelab builds.
