That is cheap, but shouldn't you be thinking of getting a RAID5 enclosure at that point?

Also, this is shipped direct from China (Orico Store) so expect zero warranty support.

But still +1 -

I've been looking for a good 5 bay enclosure for a RAID 5 array, anything you'd recommend?

Connects via USB3.Looks like it does most the usual RAID options 0-5 plus other stuff.

Honest question, so please don't kill me. Why don't people get a miniPC for about $100, run whatever OS you're comfortable with on it and connect a DAS to that? I see 4 bay DAS out there for about $200 or maybe even $150. Wouldn't that be the same thing?

Personally, I want my drives organized. Most mini PCs don't come with a 3.5 enclosures, or any for that matter. SSDs are king for most things, except long term storage and capacity. This is why 3.5 is popular in NAS setups. Also, most mini PCs are cheap for a reason and their UBSs are sub-par and not rated for the speeds we require in a NAS system. The other thing is power supply, most mini PCs don't have the power supply to support 4 mechanical drives. You will start burning your power supply, motherboard, or a random capacitor trying to maintain that constant power consumption.

Thanks for the response. Those are valid points. Here's what I did and lemme know if I'm missing out by not getting a proper NAS.

- used mac mini M1 for $200. The thunderbolt usb modules should be pretty solid but yeah, on cheap miniPCs, that might not be the case as you said.
- terramaster D2. It's a DAS (not NAS), with two bays. There's an Orico one I see now for the same price of $100. It has its own power supply and active cooling based on SMART metrics and temp sensors.
- usb-c connection from the terramaster to the mac. I think the terramaster is rated at 10Gbps but the mac is able to take a whole lot more with a more capable DAS. This might be where the DAS lacking based on what you said. But most HDD max out at 6Gbps I think and if you're not reading/writing intensively on all drives simultaneously, it might work out just fine.

Can't argue with those prices. As long as USB port is not a bottleneck then you're good. I'm not familiar with a Mac NAS/DAS setups. But there's dedicated hardware that can use SSDs to cache your writes as it slowly copies them over to your slow mechanical Heads for long storage.

The power consumption is not an issue depending how much you pay for electricity. An intel N150 uses very little power and that's what you need in a NAS unless your running some heavy encryptions. But your setup is good and as long as it fits your needs. At the end of the day that's all that matters.

I assume this is run by a hardware raid controller? What happens if the controller fails?

Yeah the N150 or N100 would be great choices if they have very reliable usb modules. Thanks for the tip on the ssd caching. I didn't think of that and it might help with my ultra slow back up to a test external drive that's connected through a usb 2.0 dock I had laying around. Good talk!

USB3 is s l o w. If all you're doing is backing things up to the drives, fine. Not a big deal, especially after the initial backup. But for anything else? Too s l o w.

TB3 or better costs a bit more but is much more capable. Saving small amounts of money in return for uncomfortably slow data access isn't wise.

USB 3.0 is 5Gbps. That's likely faster than how fast your drives can read/write and even faster than most home networks that are 1Gbe.
