This is interesting since I was planning on making my own RPi4 nas in the near future. Am I seeing correctly from the image that you have 1 (or 2?) 3,5" HDDs connected to some kind of HAT for the RPi (which has SATA connectors probably)?
What speeds are you getting now?
My plan was to connect 2x16TB HDDs to the pi through a USB->SATA cable, which probably is an even less stable setup than yours is but I was hoping it would be enough to do some basic NAS stuff.
I was also planning on using OpenMediaVault like you are.
I have two 3,5" HDDs connected as well as two SSDs (installed after the picture). They're connected via a USB dongle (through the back, so all drives go via USB 3.)
The issue I'm facing is that I only get 10MB/s, even though I should be getting more, even through a USB 3 interface. I'm going to try the suggested SMB configuration from another user and report back shortly
Your setup should be similar to mine. If you get good speeds, I'd love to know. OpenMediaVault is wonderful too - it's simple and gets the job done. But for my system there's no RAID, although that doesn't bother me because 1 HDD is primary, and 1 HDD is backup
Ah so your setup is almost exactly as what I had planned :D (I'll use 1 SSD instead of 2 though, to be used as boot drive). I haven't made the box yet, probably in a few months.
Thank you for the reply!
Please do post your updates somewhere in this thread, I'm sure they'll come in handy when I start building my box.
