I ended up upgrading my motherboard, now I have the Asrock B450M PRO4 R2.0 which is a Micro ATX board. For the power supply I added the Corsair RM650, a fully modular low noise ATX 650 Watt psu. Also changed the stock cooler for my 5600X CPU to a Cooler Master Hyper H412R. I'm quite happy with the results: seeing way more power efficiency all around, and connecting the DAS through a super fast USB 3.2 Gen2 10Gbps Type-C connection is perhaps the biggest advantage, since I had to use USB A with the previous motherboard and the TERRAMASTER D4-320 is designed specifically for the aforementioned USB Type-C connection.
In the end kept the 5600X cpu, since the upgrade to a 5800X was not all that useful for my particular case. I gotta say this was a really fun side project and putting all these things together went way better than I expected. Hopefully this new setup serves me well for a long time.
