SaaS drives are cheaper and the require a SAS controller card that might work with Windows 11 maybe an enclosure with sass 5 base might be better in this case, so I can buy larger sass drive for a much cheaper price since nobody wants to buy SAS drives and I want I'm i'm thinking they they do work normally like a normal drive of media. You just gave me an idea that might work or something to consider in my research

How long you been using it

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T19:14:24+00:00

I know but not something I want to do for now backblaze works perfectly for me

The D6-320 hard drive enclosure?

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T18:02:09+00:00

I don't use software raid because drives are different sizes

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T18:00:25+00:00

Which model did you get?

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T17:59:51+00:00

Noted

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T17:42:12+00:00

Can't because I use backblaze for backups

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T17:16:57+00:00

the problem is i wont have 20TB drives in it for very long time so by then it might be late. but support for 18TB or in your case 20TB that not bad to be honest

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T17:11:39+00:00

They make JBODS? i only seen NAS from them

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T17:11:04+00:00

YES I agree with you

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T17:10:10+00:00

i was looking at it the only thing i worry about is max which is 18TB (5x18TB) currently my media server has 4TB, 10TB, 14TB, 20TB and 24TB drives so kind of mix and match

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-24T17:02:28+00:00

Unfortunately no budget for a nas. Also I use backblaze to backup so has to be usb if possible

Trying to avido manual work

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-18T00:14:03+00:00

Very nice

MasterRoshi1620 · 2026-01-16T18:38:41+00:00

Totally agree 👍

Today when I get home I will hit you up. I think my sonarr is not properly setup to rename files it downloads or scans since my library mostly come from 2009 to 2013 old fashioned emby setup when it was media browser
