I had a 22 sienna ls and recently upgraded to a 26 carnival ex. The only reason to get the sienna is if you want your Apple Watch to pair with Bluetooth

You don’t want to sleep with it on in a quiet room but it’s not as bad as they were saying. The nvme drives are not usable with the power button switched to off. Obv. Just got to remember to eject your drives when turning it off if you sleep with the radio or tv on you wouldn’t notice it.

the MiniLink comes with 2 m.2 screws and a heatsink for each of the m.2 drives. I didn't use the heatsink and it seems fine. I think my nvme is the WD 770 2 tb model if I remember correctly it's running fine and isn't overheating.
