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.

    I’m using my 11th gen mainboard as a proxmox host, but the USB NIC I have is very unreliable. I ordered a M.2 intel based NIC and hopefully this will work better.

    That would be possible but IMO it would be better to sell that fairly new mainboard. I would use an older machine you have laying around or a Raspberry Pi for that, as you probably don’t need the computing power of the FW for it.
