Hello.
I already have an ITX pc built into the NZXT H1 case and my motherboard has 2.5Gbe port + USB 3.2 gen 2.
NAS solutions in my country are very expensive.
I was wondering if I could get a 4 bay docking station that has USB 3.2 gen 2 support and connect it to my existing PC.
Then use a VM for any NAS OS and setup RAID 5 and use my PC as a NAS server for all the other computers on my Local Network.
Would love to know your thoughts?
Pros? Cons? Speeds?
