This GitHub Gist presents how to set up a Raspberry Pi 4 as a Network Attached Storage (NAS) device that supports a Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks (RAID) technology. Optionally, the Pi's Type-C port can be configured to host mode, making the device a USB Gadget. This way, with only one Type-C cable, you can access the NAS while powering the device simultaneously.
Information Accuracy: The instructions provided in this Gist are based on the author's knowledge and experience as of the publication date. The technology and software described may have evolved, and newer versions may exist, resulting in this solution partially working.
Data Backup: Before proceeding to this setup, users should ensure they have backed up all important data. The process of configuring RAID and NAS involves formatting storage devices, which leads to data loss.
