hpka Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 (edited) Hey everyone, really just a simple question that I have googled. In 2021, what Unraid relevant/useful uses can you think of for a PCI slot. This should not be confused with a PCIe slot. My Lenovo TS430 has one just sitting there, lonely and empty.

Hi, no I meant either a pci nic or pci usb card. But you could plug a usb ethernet adapter into one of the usb ports. 1 Quote Link to comment
