JBOD into a NAS with PC

[Enquiries]

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?

Yes, you could install DSM on a PC, here is how https://nascompares.com/2018/09/27/xpeno...built-nas/
But I would recommend connecting those drives via SATA/ Get a PCIe card if you need more SATA connections.
Accidental drive removal would corrupt data.

I hope this helps.
