Just a tip - I have a similar mini. The RAM speed is misconfigured in the BIOS, change it to 4800 MHz to get more performance. You can also adjust the power limit (I suggest 25W on both PL1 and PL2).

Adding an update: Tried installing Ubuntu Linux OS, finally the Ubuntu 20.4 install went through. This shows that Dietpi may be having driver issues that is causing the install to not detect the SATA SSD, due to which the install fails.

Hope this is resolved in future Dietpi releases.

You need to compare with Debian and not Ubuntu.
