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 (both are ATX at the moment).

My main requirement is being able to install and uninstall drives without worrying about cable management.

Thanks!

My Synology is barely bigger than the 4 3.5 inch drives it houses.

It was my understanding that Synology products came with the rest of the computer parts as well. Is that true?

They are very locked down it should be said, so you have to fully buy into the Synology ecosystem (can't replace the host OS).

Yeah, they're a complete solution. OS and everything
