To continue this discussion, we will have to make a distinction between NUC and Nucleus.
NUC is a general purpose computer manufactured by Intel, at a price that is similar to a normal PC. You are going to install an OS on it by yourself, usually Windows. On Windows, you can have Windows OS, Roon software, Roon database, and music files all on a single SSD. Since it's Windows, you can install anything else you like, including MinimServer.
Nucleus is a NUC customized by Roon Labs with fanless chassis with its own customized OS, sold in audio retail channel at an audio equipment price. You are not going to install an OS on it. You cannot install any software on it. You cannot put music files in its boot SSD - it won't work. So if you have local music files you have to have another 2.5" or USB drive.
If you have determined to buy the N-03T, and you are only going to use Roon, or are not going to play local music files, then don't worry about MinimServer.
If you are going to play local music files from Esoteric or Lumin app, you need MinimServer to be running on a computer. You cannot install MinimServer to a Nucleus running Nucleus Roon OS, so you need another computer or NAS to run the MinimServer. You can install MinimServer to Windows on NUC, so the NUC runs both Roon and MinimServer.
As I said, to reduce confusion, you should start with a Roon-only configuration.
