I bought a Beelink Ser6Max (7735hs) model on my trip to China in 2023. I'm using it for a NAS (a mini PC + a 4-bay DAS) I couldn't be more happier. My watt meter says the box sips 13-15W when idle in stark contrast to my desktop "oven" which usually goes up 250-300W even without GPUs.
I loaded it with 64GB of RAM and a 4TB nvme (out of which I use 1 for a zfs cache for my DAS) running Ubuntu (no proxmos).
It's running 20-40 containers behind a nginx instance and I didn't run into perf issues yet.
It really is a set-and-forget little machine.
The only slightly annoying thing is that there's only one thunderbolt port and it's being used by the DAS. For some reason, the DAS doesn't work on a USB3.1.
Otherwise, I'd love to plug eGPU in and use for simpler AI tasks such as CV in immich and RAGs on some repos.
