Hi everyone! I recently moved my services from a Hetzner VPS to an OrangePi Zero 3 and I was wondering what options do I have storage-wise? How could I plug the most HDDs possible on this thing? Does anyone have a successful setup that might want to share?

    What a weird choice for a storage-oriented device, I would have gone for a SBC with SATA ports or a PCIe port.

      It wasn’t exactly a well-thought choice 😂 I wanted to host my services locally so I had to choose between going for an old computer/NUC or a Raspberry Pi and chose the latter because it’s not that power hungry. But then Raspberries are very hard to come by and even with the launch of RP5, they still look like very overpriced. So looking for alternatives, I came by the OrangePi, which sounded like a fair option 😅
