If you want that many drives you’re better off with a proper NAS and a RAID setup imho. If you want an M.2 drive for caching, you’re basically in Synology territory if you throw your other requirements on top.
Sure, it’s not running an OS flavored for the Pi, but everything else you want is covered.
- geerlingguy 5y agoDitto—though I'm also testing the Radxa Taco, which is hopefully coming soon. It has a 2.5 Gbps network port and M.2 slot, but the overall bus is still limited to 5 Gbps (3.6 Gbps real-world) because of the Pi's internal PCIe x1 Gen 2 lane. If you really need the sustained performance, especially if you want to use it for things like transcoding, it's better to get more supported hardware.
- jagger27 5y agoIt's stunning how much can be done with a single ancient PCIe 2.0 x1 lane.
- westpfelia 5y agoThe max bus throughput was always something that was the real limit with Pi's. Luckily they are getting better and better. I'm still rocking a first gen Pi as my Pihole. Dont need too much power for dns queries.
