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!

See if seachest is compatible with your drives. I think it's only compatible with Exos.

Also are you running through USB?

Yes all devices are through USB 3

USB inherently has latency issues and protocol overhead. Seems like you're restricted to hardware unfortunately.
