Depending on where you are in the world since prices vary a lot you can get the 16GB Intel N100 version with a 512GB drive and then buy a 1TB and a m.2 to USB adapter for the 512GB that comes with the unit for 1/2 the price of what you are looking at. Yes it's 16GB vs 32GB but you get to reuse the 512GB m.2 for something.

AND the Intel uses a fraction of the power of the AMD so it's cheaper to run and less noise.

YES it's slower, but once the initial sync is done and it's just running the node & JoinMarket and a few other things it's more then enough.
