I have a DS1813+ without a motherboard

I'm kind of keen to put a controller of some kind in & run a 2nd NAS (I do have a running DS1813+) does anybody have advice?

I'm thinking a raspberry pi - maybe a 4 or 5 and then some kind of NAS drive system. Ideally I'd like one that allows mismatched drive sizes like the Synology does, but I don't know what works.

Just beginning to think about this, and looking for advice. Sort of hoping somebody on here might have done this before & can offer some sage words...

Does this backplane edge connector have an adaptor I could use to connect with?

Good luck with that..Synology technology (both hardware and software) are very proprietary. They do not design their products to be modified.
 
Somebody I chatted to IRL said they think this is a standard PCIe bus and that there are data sheets available.

I'll report back what I find!
