Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Core i9-9980HK processor with turbo boost up to 5 GHz delivers serious computing power in a tiny chassis
- Dual 8TB SSDs in RAID 1 provide massive storage with automatic data redundancy
- 64GB DDR4 RAM handles heavy multitasking, virtual machines, and memory-intensive applications
- Compact 4 x 10 x 9-inch footprint fits in tight workspaces where a tower PC would not
- Thunderbolt 3 and Wi-Fi 6 provide fast modern connectivity options
👎 Cons
- Integrated Intel UHD 630 graphics are insufficient for gaming or GPU-accelerated professional work without adding a discrete card
- 500W power supply and air cooling may limit the size and thermal headroom of any discrete GPU you install
- The Core i9-9980HK is a 9th-generation mobile processor, which lags behind current desktop CPUs in single-threaded and multi-threaded performance
- At 6 lbs and with a 500W PSU, it is heavier and bulkier than many modern mini PCs
- No webcam included, requiring an external camera for video calls
Frequently Asked Questions
What graphics card does the Intel NUC 9 Extreme come with?
It includes Intel UHD 630 integrated graphics. However, the NUC 9 Extreme chassis supports a discrete GPU via its PCIe slot, allowing you to install a compatible graphics card for more demanding workloads.
Can the RAM and storage be upgraded?
The unit ships with 64GB DDR4 SO-DIMM RAM and dual 8TB PCIe SSDs configured in RAID 1. While the NUC 9 platform supports component swaps, this configuration already maximizes the available memory and storage slots.
What is RAID 1 and how does it benefit this system?
RAID 1 mirrors data across both 8TB SSDs, so if one drive fails, your data remains intact on the other. You get 8TB of usable storage with built-in redundancy for data protection.
Does this NUC include a keyboard, mouse, or monitor?
No. The Intel NUC 9 is a barebones-style desktop unit. You will need to supply your own peripherals and display.
What is the Dockztorm USB Hub that comes with it?
It is a bundled USB hub accessory that expands your connectivity options beyond the NUC's built-in six USB 3.1 Gen2 ports, Thunderbolt 3 ports, and other connections.
