Hi.

I need your thoughts on a project.
I would like one small, lightweight, low power, always on - machine. It needs to serve as, NAS, plex server and support light gaming. I think I will be running only OSX on it, but might go for a dual boot.

I'm thinking of a used mac mini ( or a Minix z83-4)
) , connected via usb3 to a multiple hdd case like this:

or what about using the:


and then run the disks as a RAID system, and let the OS controll the RAID stuff.

Anything I should be aware of?
Is it a good idea?

Thanks:)
