I can't tell if this is a weird rent seeking behavior trying to skim just a little bit more off of on-prem datacenters, and attempt to push people to azure to get the feature for "free", or another way to get companies to use Arc and make their servers phone-home more.

The pricing is so low it confuses me.

I dont expect to need more lanes for this nas. The drives are 12TB each and should me more than i need for what i plan to use them for.

The biggest thing i was hoping to get out of a premade enclosure was lower power draw, but you're right that I can just get old low power equipment, which should help

I would take a SAS DAS if you know of one.

This is what i was expecting to hear, i was just hopeful someone knew something i didnt.

what model sensors are these? are they Z-wave? how long does the battery last?

I'm very interested in a similar setup.

This isnt a bad idea, ill check it out. My challenge is often finding pants long enough is challenging, hut an alert could help

if you want to type the key yourself each time this could work. I'm not aware of an app that does this but it wouldn't be too hard I don't think.

if you're encrypting at rest you also have to consider where there encryption key is being stored.

if you're storing the encryption key plaintext on the same drive as the data, there's not much of a point in encrypting.

a TPM/HSM could solve the issue, depending on how far down the rabbit hole you need to go.

EDIT: You could also encrypt the disk of the VM/Server hosting the app. similar situation.

For desktop windows this is not true. A remote sign in will sign out the local user and vice versa
