    FS: Storage Hardware Avago/LSI 9400-8i SATA PCI card with 8 sata ports

    This could be useful for someone who wants to connect - say 2x U2 SSDs, with the proper cables, as a quick way out, without touching the other stuff. AIS pricing is expensive, but their support is superb - they arranged a spare new mobo for us when ours had an issue

    The Raspberry Pi Thread

    You need to do a bit more than that Would suggest to only upgrade if you need the newer versions, the older should work fine, patches will be backported.

    OMV + Tailscale will do the job, but you will need to install tailscale separately, maybe in a container. Optionally, if you have a VPS and can install wireguard, that would be a better option. If you want something working out of the box, get a Synology box.
