RAID 5 NVMe Array - Install 4x 4TB NVMe SSDs → SSH umbrel@umbrel.local → mdadm RAID5 LVM → ext4 format → mount /mnt/lvm-storage (11TB) → /etc/fstab persistence 3.

Samba Network Share - SSH → sudo apt install samba (App Store version broken)→ add [Umbrel-Storage] share to /etc/samba/smb.conf pointing to /mnt/lvm-...
