Peluri96@feddit.org 22 hours agowell, USB is known to be kinda iffy with random timeouts etc. I dont know. I would like to have those drives in a raid5 configuration and i assume running all of this over a single connection would throttle everything down. I heard e-sata would be a better alternative but also kinda slow. my server sadly doesnt support thunderbold. Also i am a bit worried that the reading speeds would be to slow for something like jellyfin (if that isnt already the case)

Before I switched to my big NAS, I had 7 USB drives attached to my old ones, daisy chained over two USB 3.0 hubs. The USB connection was never the limiting factor.
You would need something like 3 people simultaneously streaming a 4k movie from 3 different HDDs for that to be an issue.

Yeah i assume that the hdds might be more the limiting factor. As mentioned, i am just worried about usb causing troubles with my data.
