Has anyone tried to turn an old Mainboard into a NAS/ Raid capable Server using Hard drives? I recently thought about this and now I wanted to know if someone has already tried that.

    Yeah, USB 3+ has way more bandwidth than needed by a single or even multiple disks at full tilt. If you want more than 1 disk and are familiar with Linux, hook up your disks to it, slap a ZFS pool on it and you’re golden. Ubuntu has built-in support for ZFS.
