v0va Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Can you recommend any? I am mainly looking for SSD only as I won't use HDD + I don't have much physical space so I am looking for a compact enclouser which can still hold 4+ disks. I will pair it with HP Elitedesk 705 G4 mini, which already have 1 nvme 256gb and another SSD inside. Read here and there that many of the enclousers are not well supported by Unraid so I am looking for something that works Thanks! Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 What do you plan to do with this? USB connections are NOT recommended for array or pool disks for many reasons Quote Link to comment

USB is OK to use with Unassigned Devices. I use external USB drives in UD for backup purposes. As array devices they can drop out (USB 3.0 in particular is very touchy) which causes problems in unRAID. Edited January 18, 2022 by Hoopster Quote Link to comment
