Main goal is to make a music streaming server, issue rn is storage. For now I've been using an external hard drive, but with M2 hat being more available, I'm tempted to go for it, grab a M2 to SATA Adapter, and plug a SATA HDD. Main potential issue in the future, I don't know if the RPi can output enough power alone for the Hard drive, or if I'll need another external power. Any idea ?
