Using a Qnap NAS as a JBOD (lemmy.world)

I’m running a miniPC with Proxmox and using MergerFS to manage storage. I’ve attached an SSD and an external USB drive, but these drives are almost full.

I recently bought a secondhand QNAP NAS with 4x4TB drives to expand my storage. My goal is to mount these 4 drives on my miniPC and add them to my existing MergerFS configuration. I may also want to use one of the drives as a SnapRAID parity disk.

However, I’m struggling to navigate the QNAP settings and am unfamiliar with NAS systems. It keeps pushing me toward creating a storage pool, adding RAID, and enabling snapshots, but I feel I don't need any of that since I'm using MergerFS. I’m having trouble finding guidance on how to configure the QNAP settings for my use case.

What settings would you recommend on the QNAP NAS to achieve my goal of mounting the 4 drives on my miniPC?
