Keep your Nas separate from your services. Minis forums has some nice m.2 Nas hardware if you want to roll your own Nas. Used Epyc servers are also really nice for m.2 Nas, since they have so many pcie lanes.

Anything on a separate disk can be simply remounted after reinstalling the OS. It doesn't have to be a NAS, DAS, RAID enclosure, or anything else that's external to the machine unless you want it to be. Actually it looks like that Beelink only supports a single NVMe disk and doesn't have SATA, so I guess it does have to be external to the machine, but for different reasons than you're alluding to.
I have a qnap tr-004 das. Works great. Raid5 configuration. Attached to my server. AMA.
It might be a dumb question, but how does it have it's own OS like a NAS, or is it basically a box attached to the host and everything is done via software? I encountered some confusion between enclosures, DAS, USB array and some of the other terms I was seeing.
My reasoning and setup are different, but I'm also looking at DAS solutions this week for a media server.
