Hello,
So I just built my Nas Server with a external case with 4TB HDDs and a Raspberry Pi 4. Now when I enter the Webgui to configure the Raid for those Drives, it doesnt list my drives because they are "unrelieable". They get external Power and Id like to connect them via USB 3.0 to my Raspberry. Is there any way I can bypass this warning?
Connect Harddrive Case via USB 3.0 to Raspi

Using USB drives for raid (especially on an arm board like the RPi) is a terrible idea hence the unreliable message. Why do you think you need raid with an RPi?

Well, I read many articles about using a Pi as a Nas.
You can use it as a NAS without raid.
So is there a way of bypassing the warning or not?
Not from the web interface. You have to setup the raid array and filesystem from the command line. But I really advise against it. You can pool drives in other ways and redundancy on an arm board with usb drives is pointless.

So do you know how to set up the raid from the command line?
If that's the way you want to go search for mdadm on google.
