What is already integrated in the PC (I don't know much about PCs)? Is there an HDD/SSD, RAM, ...? Already included?

The Nuc Hades Canyon NUC8I7HNK2 is a barebones kit. You have to buy an M.2 SSD, memory and an OS yourself. I equipped mine with the Samsung 970 EVO 1000GB, M.2 2280 SSD and HyperX Impact 2x, 16GB, DDR4-2400, SO-DIMM 260 pin RAM.

How do the two Hades Canyon NUCs compare to each other, i.e. Intel NUC Hades Canyon VR NUC8i7HVK to the slightly cheaper Intel NUC Hades Canyon NUC8I7HNK2? Apparently the AMD graphics are more performant in VR. But as far as I can see, the pure processor performance hardly differs: both have a base clock of 3.10 GHz and only differ slightly in Turbo Boost: 4.10 GHz to 4.20 GHz. For me, the graphics don't matter at all: it's all about a system that is as powerful as possible (multi-core CPU performance) and as quiet as possible (because it stands directly on the desk). Can anyone assess the difference in this respect? What would be the better system? Thanks!

Hi, I can't make any statements on the exact comparison regarding CPU performance because I only have the NUC8I7HNK2. I suspect the difference will be within the range of measurement tolerances. I use the part in a lab setup alongside several other NUCs with various virtual Windows and Linux machines. In my opinion, it is well suited for this - with a maximum configuration of 32 GB RAM and 2x2 GB SSD. I run various build and test tools for software testing. It is quiet when idle, but very audible under full load, so I don't want to have it right up against my ears on my desk all the time. I also suspect that the CPU throttles quite quickly due to thermal load when all cores are running under full load.

Intel Hades Canyon NUC: Can't 64GB RAM also be used now? Does anyone have experience. I found this here: https://www.virtuallyghetto.com/2019/03/64gb-memory-on-the-intel-nucs.html Otherwise it will probably be an ASROCK A300 with Ryzen Picasso 3400G and 64GB RAM (2x32GB) with Noctua fan. Purpose: Virtualised Hadoop server environment. Better would be 128GB RAM but it will be difficult if it has to be small and compact...

Is this processor compatible with the Optane H10 (I,000 Gb)? Thanks

The Optane H10 is a normal NVMe SSD, the processor doesn't really care about this. Long story short, yeah should work just fine. Personally I would recommend the following SSD (a little bit costlier): Samsung 970 EVO Plus (1000GB, M.2 2280) For standard use cases it doesn't really matter, even a cheaper NVMe SSD would work just fine. Here an article with some tests of the Optane H10: https://uk.pcmag.com/intel-opta...
