We have 6 external 4TB drives on a Win7 computer that has 24gb memory.
No problem at all. Of course this creates 6 separate drives - not sure
about the NAS you are looking at. We find they run as fast as the
internal drive, at least for what we do - primary a backup for all the
computers on our network and 4 cloud servers. We got the drives at
Costco for about $149.95 each. If you don't have 6 USB3 ports you can
use USB2 or get an expansion port device. For backing up, we don't see a
difference in USB2 vs USB3.

Anyone else build anything like a 28TB (or thereabouts) NAS box using
Linux? (Raid or no Raid)
Just curious if the 28TB size presents any unusual problems.
I have a video security system supplier asking $10,000 (claims it is
his cost) for what I think I can build for $2,500 using Linux and 8 x
4TB drives in a NAS box.
Open to warnings, reproach, and encouragement...
