MicroServer N36L/N40L/N54L - 6 Drive Edition in Unraid Compulsive Design Posted March 2, 2012 I am toying with the idea of getting an N40L and running Unraid on it. My question is - would it be possible to use the eSata port and connect an external eSata hard drive enclosure to extend the Unraid array? The ideal would be something like a 4 bay external like this: http://www.startech.com/HDD/Enclosures/4-Bay-External-Hard-Drive-Array-Storage-Tower%E2%80%93eSATA-USB-Enclosure~SAT3540U2E. This would allow somebody to expand from 5/6 drives to 8/9 drives. Thoughts?
