At BIOS boot you can type Control-M to configure the builtin hardware RAID.
I did not play with this.
For serious NAS applications a SAS PCIe card and SAS drives would probably
be the way to go. This overview video did that

W. And runs cool at idle, k10temp reports 23 degC CPU (measured on the board,
not CPU core) (ambient temp is 22 degC / 72 degF). The large but quiet fan is
overkill for a bare-metal AstLinux install.
