February 23, 20233 yr Good morning everyone, Long time user of unRAID, small time poster (testiment to how pleased I am with the product!) Apologies if something like this has been asked, I did a search and the only result matching my criteria was about getting unraid on the final product. My hardware is due a refresh. I have an intel NUC that's massively overpowered but also crazy noisy so was wondering if I could use this as my base, then attach drives via thunderbolt and have unraid work as normal. Is that a thing? Would unraid accept drives connected via thunderbolt? I was looking at this product as a starting point. https://amzn.eu/d/6VmGQRE It's important that I make my unraid an absolute beast as I have several VM's running on it, so can't just get a "dumb" nas.

February 23, 20233 yr You would NOT want anything RAID, Unraid is not RAID and needs to see individual drives. Seems this enclosure might support such a mode. But any external interfaces like USB / Thunderbolt are not recommended for the Unraid array.
February 23, 20233 yr Author @Kilrah All I need to know, thank you. Stick with a typical custom build computer. Appreciate the quick response.
