I personally had the best experience with mergerfs (Drives can be any size and can be backuped by snapraid) and an external enclosure up until recently. Unfortunately USB is such a limiting factor because of bandwidth and also latency. I can only realy recommend to get a new cheap Server which has Support for sata If you want any usability while Transferring or moving files.

Safari is behind on a ton of features from what i know i would not use safari even if i had the option.
