However, I found a video review [youtube.com] that connects the dots. The OCuLink port is behind a label on the right side of the device. So if you were keeping an eye out for mini PCs with an OCuLink port and were concerned like me, I hope this helps clarify things.

Doing this seems pretty extra. You'd need a breakout cable, a mechanism to mount, cool, and power the HBA (some LSI 93xx need external power), then attachment to your disk array, and that all seems... Like a lot of attachments for storage hosted on a mini PC.
I'd say if you want a NAS, troll ebay/marketplace for used workstations. The HP Z420 comes to mind as a good option to build a NAS: ample power, DDR3 ECC support (cheap used RAM, $10-15 per 8GB), ample 5.25 and 3.5 slots to hold up to 7 HDDs without much effort, efficient 650w PSU, and ample PCIe for expansion if you wanted to do an external HBA to a disk array. Add an intel X520 10G NIC and an LSI 9300x and you have a very capable Truenas server ready to rock.
On the other hand, doing a NAS with this would be cool, but sometimes it's best to stick with tried and true over cool.

I would personally prefer non-soldered RAM to allow increasing the capacity in the future post RAMpocalypse. But I must acknowledge that in doing so, I'd be forfeiting some performance, heat, and electricity in the decision.
If you are starting from scratch it's better to just get a whole PC. Egpu is nice if you already have parts laying around or if you already have a miniPC that you are using. For instance I have a Lenovo Legion Go already as well as a RX6800 from a previous build, I picked up a egpu dock for 150ish to use them together.

I have been using OCuLink to connect old NVIDIA Tesla GPUs externally to a desktop. Making the GPU external gets around needing a massive case to hold the aftermarket cooling that needs to be added to these GPUs. And it allowed me to use old 400W to 550W PSUs I had lying around for the GPUs without needing to replace the PSU in my desktop with something more powerful.
This external GPU use case ended up working fine for me. But a big difference between my use case and gaming is that for LLM workloads that fit on a single GPU, the PCIe speed makes little difference. It mainly speeds up loading the model. After that, very little PCIe bandwidth is used. A PCIe 3.0 x4 link (~4 GB/s) is plenty fast. This is different from gaming where there is constant communication between the GPU and the rest of the system. The performance in many games is crippled by lowered GPU bandwidth and increased latency. But I believe how much varies greatly by game.

Oculink is indeed on it according to the pictures at AliExpress. It isn't a gimmick; I use my mini pc with a minisforum DEG1 egpu deck and a separate atx PSU.
