Currently have a bunch of drives (SSD and m.2.) hooked to my Mac Studio with SATA-USB convertors. Looks messy and it's really hard to tell what is where.
My needs are quite simple,
- 4 bays minimum
- house my current drives in (3 x SSD ja 2 x M.2) as they are, or some of them. OR 2 old + 2 (or more) new drives
- having m.2 is not mandatory, I can keep them as external drives
- cost effective (cheap), silent, energy efficient
- fast enough to read / write directly, similar to any external hard drive I currently use
- can be attached directly to my Mac studio (if needed for speed) or to my Huawei rooter (b525s-65a)
- going to use it locally / local network would be cool, but not necessary. Using it outside home / accessible from internet, not necessary at all
- Having PLEX could be fun but not mandatory
- I don't need virtualization or similar, surveillance etc
