I am thinking of extending my storage and I don't know if I should buy a JBOD (my current solution) or a RAID capable enclosure.

My "server" is just a small intel nuc with an 8th gen i3. I am happy with the performance, but that might be impacted by a bigger software RAID setup. My current storage setup is a 4-bay JBOD with 4TB drives in RAID 5. And I am thinking of going to 6 x 8TB drives with RAID 6 which will probably be more work for my little CPU

Don't do a RAID enclosure, just get one that exposes the disks straight to the OS.

Problem for me is: there is not a 6 bay enclosure and the 8 bay enclosures cost as many as a RAID capable one

I'd pay more money for a non raid enclosure.

I just set up my icy box drive bay with software raid. Works great, just remember in some cases you have to disable UAS for the enclosure
