How can you increase the disk capacity on a MiniPC?

I already have a 2TB SSD but I would like to have a raid of SSD or NVMe, but I'm not sure what is the best solution for MiniPCs

Any experience with a similar problem?

Well, what interfaces does it have?

How much space does it have inside?

How much power can it supply on the 12v bus?

Most likely the answer is "very little" or "not at all".

I have a SFF box that can support, max, 3 SATA drives (2.5"), because of lack of ports and little space. But it has the power to run 5. So I put in a PCI SATA controller, and wedged them in. Runs fine.
