Laptop specs

I think it only supports SATA, but I should open it up and check it personally. Thank for the tips man.

Thank you for the comment and explanation. I was hoping for comments like this from people much more knowledgeable than me on this. The dual NAS thing is really not a bad idea.

At the beginning I can start with the laptop battery. Later I can remove it and use an external battery/power bank to keep it running. Once I set it up I feel I’ll have more time troubleshooting this too. Thanks.

Got it… but I don’t know what do you mean with break out some PCIe lanes sorry ahah Like open the case and find a free PCIe port?

I should check but i think i have 4/5x 1Tb NAS HDD, 1x1Tb enclosed SSD (now plugged in via ubs to the synology). Now that I think about it yes, I should probably buy some more but all my data is just 1/2 Tb in total.

I’m going to attach some used hard disks and ssds, I have many spare ones. I wanted to set up a RAID2 or 3, so even if some disks dies it’s not the end of the world.

Not really a question, just if anyone knows a good trusted guide I can follow to do this or if you have tips and tricks.

As much as i like to mess around with computer and electronics, i don’t have time for this. I need something that i set up quickly and works well, that’s it.

Yes I was thinking something like TrueNas or OMV would do the trick. I feel that a general headless distro could be harder to set up.

But what about the raid copies for example? Because i need to attach some external storage, is usb okay for this?
