Hello Beelink,
It would be fantastic if you could offer two storage size choices when placing an order for the GTR6.
500GB or 1TB.
Can this be possible ?

Don't know that it would be worth their time, I bought the last one in a bundle but if I get this one at some point I'd be more likely to install my own stuff.

Barebones is fine if that's what you prefer but it then comes without an OEM Windows license. For convenience I think most buyers would probably prefer to get Windows that comes included with a bundle deal. Unless they planned to install just Linux but this is a small minority.

Beelink's main competitor in the Mini PC market offers various different bundles for it's products.
If given the choice most buyers would probably opt for 1TB storage over 500GB. Currently Beelink's only offered choice is barebones or 500GB.
For myself I'd then add a 2TB SATA III SSD in the other m.2 slot for my total storage needs.

After giving this further thought if a 1TB NVMe SSD isn't going to be available in a bundle (which is more than likely), I will buy the GTR6 as barebone and buy separately the SSD capacities I need and get faster RAM in the process. I'LL be one of those small minority and install Linux rather than Windows. If I want Windows I'LL buy one of those low cost volume license product keys from the internet.

At the end of the day it's not that big of a deal but if Beelink were to include a 1TB storage bundle I'd go that route for the convenience.. If not I'LL buy it barebone like Jackson because a 500GB system storage drive is too small for my needs but its not a deal breaker.

First Youtube review of the GTR6 by Laobai.
It's in Chinese. For English subtitles, enable the CC closed captions.

The title of the video is - Pocket beast! Beelink GTR6 flagship mini console! AMD Ryzen9 6900HX+Radeon 680M

Do your own search for it on YouTube.. I put a link in a previous post but it got flagged for moderation.. The name of the channel is jack stone

He opened the bottom cover plate and removed the fan bracket and there is no slot/tray for a 2.5" SATA SSD at all. Overall the GTR6 looks great, the gaming performance is good at 1080p, and the CPU temps when stressed seemed pretty good too.

Hello there,
There is a slot 2.5 SATA SSD/HDD on the back cover of the machine.

Hello Support-03.
The Laobai 'Jack Stone' GTR6 youtube review video shows there is no 2.5" SATA SSD/HDD slot on the back cover. So where does the 2.5" SSD/HDD go?

On the motherboard, there is a connector for a flat SATA III cable on the bottom of the Wi-Fi module (it is involved in the GTR5).
I removed the bottom cover on my PC 5 and put the third SSD. Maybe this technical solution will help...

What you suggest is for old model GTR5. The Laobai jack stone GTR6 review video shows there's no L-shaped SATA cable included, and there is no 2.5 inch hard drive bay anywhere in the device. Obviously the listed spec is a mistake as it's meant to be for the second M.2 storage slot. It should instead read something like M.2 2280 SATA3 SSD Slot (Max speed 600MB/s. Max 2TB)

Obviously, there is no space for HDD in GTR6, so you can order a flexible cable and a SATA III adapter (for GTR5) from the technical support service and connect a third SSD (preferably one board without a case - this is for the straight-armed). And the role of the lower metal cover is not clear - it needs to be removed to allow air to flow through the lower fan, providing a gap between the fan and the surface on which the GTR6 stands.
