Hello lemmy,
I have currently 4x4tb hard drives but they are almost full. Im thinking of getting a 8 bay das so i can put extra drives in it. I have looked around but wasnt able to find something that looked good, does someone have recommandations?
Thanks for your time!
I doubt many are looking for 8-bay DAS, anything larger than 4-bay you are probably better off with NAS. Many DAS have limited RAID support, which can make having more drives more risky.
I’ll take an 8 bay NAS with Thunderbolt/USB 4 for the best of both worlds. My only problem is that I’m very sensitive to sound and I don’t want spinning hard drives in my office.

But i already have a computer that works well enough, isnt it a waste to completly replace it with a nas?
I think Mediasonic still makes 8 bay DAS units, they're becoming a lot rarer.
I would probably start looking at NAS units if I were you, or buy a bigger tower case and fit the disks internally instead.
