   You can buy a 5-drive Pi5 hat and plug in laptop
   drives or, preferably, SATA SSDs. Buy on Amazon.

   Apparently the not-so-bad OpenMediaVault distro
   now WILL boot on a Pi5. I've used it professionally
   and its really pretty good at this point - and gives
   you lots of fine control. It's also LIGHT, which is
   great for a Pi NAS.
