For your needs of adding external storage to an old Windows 10 Pro workstation using spare 3TB NAS HDDs, a Direct Attached Storage (DAS) solution would be ideal, considering a NAS might be overkill. One cost-effective and reliable option is the TerraMaster D4-310 4-bay DAS. It supports up to four 3.5" SATA drives and connects via a PCIe x4 slot, fitting perfectly into your setup. You can configure it with Windows Storage Spaces for RAID functionality, ensuring data redundancy and performance. This solution balances flexibility and affordability, crucial for a non-profit charity.
