I’m looking for a suggestion for compact-ish NAS cases. I only have a few drives, 4 at the moment, so I don’t need a ton of space. But I’d like to downsize without getting a brand new motherboard and PSU it possible (both are ATX at the moment).

My main requirement is being able to install and uninstall drives without worrying about cable management.

Thanks!

Try this in your SMB settings in OMV.

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536
SO_SNDBUF=65536
read raw = yes
write raw = yes
max xmit = 65535
dead time = 15
min receivefile size = 16384
write cache size = 524288
getwd cache = yes
max connections = 65535
max open files = 65535
min protocol = smb3
max protocol = smb3

What’s your HDD model?

See if seachest is compatible with your drives. I think it’s only compatible with Exos.

Also are you running through USB?

This is interesting since I was planning on making my own RPi4 nas in the near future. Am I seeing correctly from the image that you have 1 (or 2?) 3,5" HDDs connected to some kind of HAT for the RPi (which has SATA connectors probably)?

What speeds are you getting now?

My plan was to connect 2x16TB HDDs to the pi through a USB->SATA cable, which probably is an even less stable setup than yours is but I was hoping it would be enough to do some basic NAS stuff.
I was also planning on using OpenMediaVault like you are.

Ah so your setup is almost exactly as what I had planned :D (I’ll use 1 SSD instead of 2 though, to be used as boot drive). I haven’t made the box yet, probably in a few months.

Thank you for the reply!
Please do post your updates somewhere in this thread, I’m sure they’ll come in handy when I start building my box.
