Could I use this to build a OMV Nas?

I saw this on Amazon for what seems like a very reasonable price. I looked it up and it seems like it has 4 Sata ports on the motherboard. Is this something I could install a bunch of 12TB drives into and use an an openmediavault NAS?

Thanks!!

I use a mini PC (n100 processor) for my home server. I just have a 6tb HDD plugged into it. I’m wondering what the best solution is for me long term. I’ll probably have the HDD filled in about a year.

I see a lot of usb enclosures on Amazon but the idea of running like 5 disks over a single usb makes me nervous.

I also keep seeing the 4 bay qnap DAS that can do raid 5. That’s tempting too to prevent data loss.

I’d like to keep the miniPC as the center since it’s configured just how I like it.

What would you recommend for external storage?
