I'm considering getting an 8TB SSD storage chip for my Intel NUC mini-server (I install linux on it). However, I'm wondering if there are any considerations one needs to take when adding that much storage space.

Will the NUC have a hard time doing read/writes with that much storage? Let's say I had a 100 TB SSD chip, would that affect performance?

No, there are limits to disk size for all interfaces but the SATA and NVMe options you have in your NUC won't be remotely troubled by an 8TB disk - that's not that big in pro sysadmin terms.

Let's say I had a 100 TB SSD chip, would that affect performance?

Often the bigger the SSD the higher the performance, to a limit anyway, also the amount of wear levelling increases too.

You may also find that follow up questions regarding non-server hardware like NUCs might be better asked on our sister sites superuser.com - which is designed to handle consumer computing questions.
