Since the Arriss does not have a USB port how do i connect an external drive (4tb) to is using a NAS adapter (usb to ethernet)? Google only has help if the router has a usb port which a lot do not. i...

Another option might be for OP to build their own NAS with a Raspberry Pi. Only recommended though if OP has experience in CLI. See here.
I have good results with WD. I have a pair of the PR4100's now, 1 with 4/22tb drives raid 5, and one with 4/24tb drives raid 5. I use them for plex and neural network testing. Neural network takes a LOT of space, and fast computer, but it's a lot of fun. Gotta do something in my retired time.....
Is neural network testing like some kind of AI?
I just recently built a new gaming PC. See build here. Went with the AMD 7800X3D and 7800xt. The 9800x3D wasn't released yet and didn't want to have to go through any bugs that may affect the new CPU. Thinking of turning my old PC into a NAS or something else fun. However, I have two relatives that need a PC so I may refurbish it and give it one of them. It is only Windows 10 compatible but there are many ways to handle that.
It's a kind of AI, older technology, I have audio, listen and speak, using my older server with a pair of 24 (12 plus hyperthreading), xeon processors, and raid 5 internal, then the external nas's for extra storage.
Working computer is a core I9-13900F with nvidia 4070. 64gb memory, pair of 2tb nvme drives, and 2.5gb ethernet.
Refurb the pc, give it to the relatives, and get a real NAS. Trust me, set and forget. It's worth it.
for the moment i will go with the computer/external plan. thank you for your insights.
