I'm looking for something like this, but cheaper and for 3.5" drives. USD$250, plus shipping to Australia puts that just too high for what it offers.

I own Synology NASs, but adding an expander for that is expensive. (AUD$800)

The ODroid-HC4 looks promising, but their 'toaster' case design for it is awful, leaving the drives exposed and unable to put two atop each other.

Ideally what I'd like is:

- 1-2x 3.5" SATA drives

- Gbit NIC

- Enough grunt to run some kind of clustered filesystem (gluster, ceph, whatever)

The idea being that I could start a cluster with say 3x of these devices, and then as my storage needs grow - add more.

They don't need to have stellar IO, but enough to keep up with plex.
