I bought a mini-ITX board with 4 SATA ports and an embedded CPU. I added a PCIe card with 2 additional SATA ports. I bought a mini-ITX case with mounts for 6 HDDs. I have 5 8TB drives (RAIDZ2) and 1 SSD as the boot drive. The system runs Ubuntu Server.

I found this setup a lot cheaper than the dedicated NAS boxes you can buy and more flexible.

Yes please, can you post the brand/model of that case?

Can you post a link to that Mini-ITX case? Thanks.

I’m not the parent but I built something similar in the Fractal Node 304 which supports six 2.5” drives. Mine’s been going strong for 7 years now.

That's exactly the one I have.
