I am building my first FreeNAS box. I have a ROG STRIX
B450-I GAMING MB with 32GB memory (plan to run Plex server also).
I understand that USB is discouraged, but I would like to have a 4 x 10GB disk 3.5 SATA enclosure to run an array as external RAID storage connected via USB 3.1 - 2 Gen.
Could I make the following work with FreeNAS:
Mediasonic USB 3.1 4 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure :
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B078YQHWYW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 ( USB 3.1 GEN 2 Type A-Male to Type-C Female Adapter 10Gbps required)
..........or should I stay with MB connections or HBA's for drive connections.
Any comments or suggestions much appreciated.
