Problem/Justification
I have several hard drives I’m trying to consolidate to pool HDD. It would be handy to be able to plug the drives directly into the server and remotely transfer files directly to my DAS pool. Also, while I’m connected to my network, I wouldn’t need to tie up bandwidth for data transferred from an HDD to DAS pool.
Impact
It seems that a fair amount of home users are using DAS rather than NAS having access to non-network drives would be handy.
User Story
I have several HDD that I’m trying to consolidate to my DAS pool. If I was able to plug a HDD directly into the server, I would be about to work on transfers remotely without having my computer directly connected to my network. My HDD and myself can be in 2 different locations and I would be about to transfer files from a HDD (or thumb drive too) to my DAS.
