Compact-ish NAS cases? - lemm.ee

I’m looking for a suggestion for compact-ish NAS cases. I only have a few drives, 4 at the moment, so I don’t need a ton of space. But I’d like to downsize without getting a brand new motherboard and PSU it possible. My main requirement is being able to install and uninstall drives without worrying about cable management. Thanks!

I got an Argon Eon case with a Raspberry Pi 4, but I’m regretting it because for some off reason my file transfer speeds via SMB are abysmal. I do have a heap of services selfhosted on the Pi and otherwise it’s okay

Edit: If someone was able to get fast transfer speeds via SMB on a Raspberry Pi, I’d like to know how. If the speeds can be increased, my NAS would be perfect

What software are you using
I’m using all these, plus OpenMediaVault as the NAS operating system

Try this in your SMB settings in OMV.

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536 read raw = yes write raw = yes max xmit = 65535 dead time = 15 min receivefile size = 16384 write cache size = 524288 getwd cache = yes max connections = 65535 max open files = 65535 min protocol = smb3 max protocol = smb3

It’s possibly a hardware limitation. This is my settings

socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536 SO_SNDBUF=65536 read raw = yes write raw = yes max xmit = 65535 dead time = 15 min receivefile size = 16384 write cache size = 524288 getwd cache = yes max connections = 65535 max open files = 65535 server multi channel support = yes allocation roundup size = 1048576 aio max threads = 100 aio read size = 1 aio write size = 1 server min protocol = SMB3_11 client ipc min protocol = SMB3_11
