Unraid PC using QNAP as storage ?

I have a particular usecase and am just throwing it out there to see what the community thinks and if it's a viable option

 

I currently have an I7 Intel NUC hosting proxmox for my needs and it's working exceptional well for what I have.

 

Now I recently got my hands on a QNAP TS-831x, my first thought was to attempt an unraid install on the device itself so unraid could have direct access to the underlying disks.

 

After a little research it was obvious that I wasn't going to be able to do that as the TS-831x has an ARM CPU.

 

So now my question is.

 

Can I present the QNAP disks, aside from just using NFS which isn't what I'm after, to unraid by some other means so I can utilise unraid with the QNAP NAS?
