So I have a a mini rack.
I have about 1.5 U of rack space and a model for a 4 bay 3.5 inch BOD
HOWEVER, no idea how best to connect them to a computer.
I’m thinking right now just plugging them into a Think center m715 with a powered USB hub.
I’m also thinking get a Raspberry Pi 5 and a nvme to sata hat, but I’m not aware of a way to power those 4 drives other than extra internal power supply. It would be convenient to just use like a wall wart or USB 2 power.
Thoughts? Best practices?
The mini PC case is open and the cables go directly from the mainboard/PSU to the BOD back (4 SATA and 1 MOLEX).
