The Mini PCs we normally see listed max out with 2.5Gbps networking. So this would be able to keep up and saturate the pipe. If you needed more bandwidth, having separate direct SATA connections would be needed, likely with some type of external SAS connection.
10 drives is very large, unless you are going for extremely cheap small drives to fill the array. IMO it's better to use larger drives as each drive consumes power to run. UGreen has a Kickstarter going right now that has some really crazy deals for NASes that are supposed to ship in June. You might be more bang for your buck there.
Also, anyone thinking of using this many drives, Go with at least one parity disk, or even better two. The chance of data loss increases as you move to more and more drives. Not caring about movies on a single 10TB drive... fine. Not caring about 180TB, that's going to be a much larger pain to replace everything.
I was checking what level of support it has from Sabrent (zero, they have really gone downhill with firmware updates) and there's a thread about how it doesn't have automatic power recovery to bring the drives back up after power loss.
actually, i am not even sure of the reference? but sabrent is very well known in ssd and pc component business for the last 5-10 years

I can't even imagine how well a software RAID would work on this, so you definitely wouldn't want to use this for anything that requires heavy redundancy.
If you pair it with any of the mini PCs that get listed here and load it up with those refurbished server drives, it would make a pretty killer Plex server.

Meh, another smart aleck comment. Buy old Dell power hog unnecessarily, and while you have it look what all I can do on it with my proxmox crap..
.. when all you need is a jbod enclosure

Super overpriced.
What's the point of this?
It's so you can add 10 3.5 inch hard drive bays to any computer with a usb port. You could actually add multiple of these if you wanted to. With Windows 11 Storage Spaces, you can make software RAID0, 1, and 5 arrays over USB. Would be good for storing all your movie rips on. You can just plug in a laptop or tablet and copy what you need at the time.
My internet upload speed is 10 Mbps, so having something a thousand times faster than any plex server I could make would be pretty nice. But the storage would cost twice as much as this thing does, and I'm not ready to dish that much out all at once.

This is correct, there is no power recovery after power loss

What? No, this is a JBOD on a DAS.
10Gbps is plenty for this particular purpose, when the most you'll be interfacing with is one computer and two drives possessing contiguous data at a time.
I'm not sure what ChatGPT you pulled your response from, but try to do the math on your own:
10Gbps is 1250MBps. A conservative estimate on each drive is 125MBps. Thus 1250 / 125 = 10.
I was very clear in my first comment that this setup is fine for what it does as long as you don't try to make it do more. Hence, no software RAID, which has a tremendous overhead compared to a dedicated RAID controller.
Also, who told you that software RAID is preferred these days? You could be saving server farms millions of dollars with this knowledge... if it were remotely true.
What was your response meant to piggyback on, other than to advertise for some Kickstarter?

Have you heard of ZFS? Raid where the OS and controller both have full knowledge and control of the file system actually turned out to work pretty well.

I agree fully except for the software raid part. These work great on software raid because each drive independently registers. That makes it so Storage Spaces can handle all recovery if needed.

I run an 8-bay mediasonic USB setup on an old mac mini running ubuntu. Drives are setup using ZFS.
