If you've got an empty header on the motherboard you can get adaptors to make it a normal USB A slot inside the case or a slim profile usb stick. There's a list of recommendations on their forum.
I ended up getting a Dell raid card that I flashed to a normal HBA/IT mode and connecting all my disks with that in a big case.
Happy experimentung. Hopefully you'll find something that fits your needs.
I did that with this giant server I have, but I hate running that thing. This computer I'm using now is honestly a pretty small, proprietary computer and it has no extra headers, it's pretty packed inside. I will be testing unraid after i'm done with OMV. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Having a normal HBA would have made my choices a lot easier. Dealing with the DAS complicated it but everyone was pretty helpeful so I think I'm on the right track now.
