I already have a nice couple mini pcs as home servers, not looking for any smart stuff, so options like the Sinologys are way too expensive and would be infreaused, specially any model with 4 bays.
I’m looking for “dumb” enclosures with decent speed transfers that I can plug to my mini pcs. I’m not seeing a lot of options and the ones I’m seeing don’t have great reviews. I’m also not looking to use an old pc case wuth a full pc.
What are you guys using?
Or am i doing wrong in ignoring the synology because i don’t plan to use any of the extra features they pack?
It sounds more like you want an HDD enclosure, they make 4 bay ones and usually transfer via USB 3.0 IIRC
thanks! I see some models that include raid options while others don’t. do I need those or those can be done on software?
You can do software or hardware but I am not a valid resource for info on anything further being fully honest!
