If anyone wants to try this with a (mini) PC without an OCuLink port, but with a spare M.2 slot, you can try looking for an adapter like a "F4C". This converts an M.2 slot, which is really a PCIe x4 slot, into an OCuLink port.
(I believe the BK7, F9G, and F4C are all made by the manufacturer "ADT". But you'll find a lot if listings on places like Amazon and AliExpress just list the model name. So just search for those.)
In reality, study after study shows that consumers in the receiving country bear most of the cost. According to Amiti et al. (2020) and Fajgelbaum et al. (2020), U.S. consumers absorbed nearly 100% of the cost of the tariffs imposed during the U.S.-China trade war under Trump's first administration. Feng, Han, and Li (2023) found U.S. importers bore 93% of U.S.-imposed tariffs. The numbers are remarkably consistent across time and geography: under normal conditions, consumers absorb between 60% and 90% of the cost. That's the economic consensus, not a debate.
Happy to list more studies if you're actually curious:

1. CPU is inferior. 12450H has 4P+4E cores while 6850H has 8 full speed cores. Benchmark is 16506 vs 23296.
2. iGPU is inferior. Radeon 680M in 6850H is probably two times faster than Intel's.
3. No oculink port.
4. 1 x USB-C 3.2 compared to 2 x USB-C 4
It's up to you if these are worth $40.

I also recently got mine + nvme adapter for about $50 off AliExpress, with $20 off with coins. Arrived in maybe 2 weeks. Was up and running with my AceMagic amr5 in maybe 15 minutes.

Would the computer posted be a good option for running Retropie and Apex Legends?
Sorry but this is just wrong. Look on Reddit or forums for Unraid, Truenas, etc. You will find a plethora of posts regarding issues when using a DAS.
The reason I would like to see Oculink is one speed, USB's overhead will slow down a drive once you have multiple drives. Even worse if you're transferring from one drive in the DAS to another. Secondly, Oculink should be as stable as an internal pcie connection.
