Looking for suggestions on moving my drives from internal to a DAS.

It's coming time to upgrade my motherboard again - to add more RAM than the current one supports, and with that will come a new CPU.  In the process I've been thinking about how much easier it would be to buy a small desktop off the shelf, add a SFF-8088 card, and just plug it into a DAS instead of opening up my current case and doing all the work in there.

 

I've been doing some googling on jbod chassis that support SFF-8088 (or optionally SFF-8644) and they're not too hard to find - from multiple vendors - including synology.  

 

I was wondering if anyone else has gone through this process and could speak to what sort of problems and caveats they've run into doing this sort of transition.
