Right now I'm running my server on a raspberry pi 3B using OMV with one external drive for all my storage. I'm planning on upgrading soon, and was leaning towards basically what you have, some type of mini pc or a newer SBC connected to a DAS. What makes you say that setup is not ideal? If you were starting fresh would you go straight to a NAS or something else?
The DAS seems limiting because it's USB. I'm limited on speed, and configuration. It works fine for what it is but it's basically just a giant USB drive.
I purchased the TR004 because it was cheap and I needed storage. I don't know what I would have done differently but I feel as though I'm limited by this device instead of enhanced.
A normal HBA/Controller with attached drives in a server would be my ideal I guess. Not possible at this time so I'm working with what I have!
Fair enough, thanks for the info!
