Hi, I currently have a full tower PC, with 5x internal 3.5 drives. I'm wanting to move to a much smaller PC, so I can have my PC in my lounge to game - The pc was used before as a server to stream movies to my Nvidia shield pro

I'm just wondering if these 5 X drives could run outside of my new build? As the pc would be placed by a cupboard that the drives could be stored.

I'm thinking they could go USB 3.0, but I'm sure that would cause some type of bottleneck? With so many drives.

My 5x hard drives are setup via drivepool, which is a software type raid.

Maybe I should just keep my pc as a server as it is and build a smaller, gaming pc for my lounge?

Money is tight so just thought to ask if I could create a setup that suits all!

Thanks ๐Ÿ‘ ๐Ÿ˜Š

Edit I was thinking mini ITX build
