I was thinking on buying a 2-4 bay HDD powered enclosure as a NAS for my mini pc, since I already have that, and buying or building a full-fledged diy NAS seems a bit expensive.
I want to hear some opinions from you guys, since it seems using this method is a mixed area from the selfhosted pros. I would be hoping that by using a powered enclosure, that would alleviate or solve the USB port overcharging issue, which have appeared in my mini pc when trying out an external HDD with a normal sata to usb converter.
Did you have any experiences with a setup like this one?
Err, you mean the piece of paper that came in the box, or is available to download on their website as a link without having to register?

I followed the support link in their menu, clicked on quick guide and got this page: https://support.terra-master.com/quickguide/
Are you not presented with a form forcing you to enter an email?
That’s weird that there are several ways to get access to the Quick Guides, and some seem to want an email.
However it doesn’t use it and takes junk (I just used a@b.com which was accepted), but sad that the form you found needed it.
But to answer your question, no I missed that link and went to “downloads” which also has the guide but doesn’t appear to require any email.
Great, was starting to wonder if I was being singled out and they just wanted my email 😀
I still don’t understand why they have that form at all.
