It seems weirdly difficult to find a good solution to attach HDDs to my pi. Best case would be for me a enclosure with small power supply, space for my pi, and at least 2 bays for HDDs, rather 4. All that for under 100€ of cause :D
I could not really find cheap hhd enclosures that connect via usb. Any recommendations? I don’t really want to use HDD toasters, they feel not permanent enough for a Nas. I could also not find sata to usb hats for the pi that are available right now
And likes to drop the connection.
And you typically don’t get SMART-Data from USB-adapters.
Yes you do. You just may need to turn it on.
From what I read online that can lead to instabilities and was therefore disabled on Linux.
I’ve used it in the past but none of my USB drives failed.
