In this video, I explore the Terramaster D6-320 USB hard drive enclosure. Often called a 'DAS' (Direct Attach Storage), this type of device can be used to expand the storage on your existing home server setup, and I show how to setup and use it with a zfs pool in Proxmox. It's a good candidate to be a Proxmox Backup repository, extended file storage, or all of the storage in a mini-PC.

There are also smaller models with 2 and 4 bays which also use UAS (USB Attached SCSI), the D4-300 and D2-300 use the same USB architecture without an onboard RAID controller (perfect for ZFS).
