I am in the search of a USB-C DAS to upgrade my 3,5" HDD hoarding, as I do not have the space to accommodate a rack solution at the moment.
I have found the MB-X10U31 from Fantec, which ticks all the features (10 bays, hot-swap, USB-C, etc). Quite similiar to the Mediasonic, IcyBox and Sabrent ones.

But I have one feature I depend on, and I cannot deduce how it will behave, and the brand has not answered me either.
I need to find out if the box can somehow be restarted remotely after a blackout, as I live 1.000km away from the server and there is no one to operate it. I have an UPS which can hold around 15 minutes, but sometimes the blackout are longer and I have a routine via NUT to power off all the devices if power is not restored within that period of time. I can WoL the main machine, but I do not know how could I power up the DAS box.
Thanks in advance.
