If you just want a NAS, build it yourself and run FreeNAS or similar software.
Hey Ryushin,

I have several Supermicro enclosures, an 846 (24 bays), 3 x 836 case's (16 bays), and 1 x 825 (8 bays) with a cascade box with more hdd's...and a few other box's so I have many 100's of Terabytes of "junk", but as I lost so much, I am in the process of trying to get at least some of it back.

I have ended up using UnRaid, as I have had way too many massive losses using Windows Server 2019, and different level's of what I thought would be "safe" RAID array's, but after so many losses, I'm giving up on RAID's.

Tried FreeNAS, OMV, etc, but I think UnRaid is pretty easy to managed.

One downside of UnRaid is you can only use up to 28 hdd's

I ONLY use them for storage, nothing else !!!
