No, not really. I was just wondering if that works too. I have an old PC with stand in my room and I must urgently upgrade the memory. For this I wanted to use hard drives, because they are cheaper.
I've been playing with the idea of getting something like a NAS for a while. And because I always find DIY cool I was wondering if others have already tried it with a framework.
I didn't consider that you can use the USB ports to connect hard drives. In my naivety I only thought about SATA ports.
Yeah, USB 3+ has way more bandwidth than needed by a single or even multiple disks at full tilt. If you want more than 1 disk and are familiar with Linux, hook up your disks to it, slap a ZFS pool on it and you're golden. Ubuntu has built-in support for ZFS.
