June 17, 20224 yr I'm running Unraid on a Norco 24 bay server, a friend gave me a Dell SC4020, and I'd like to add it as expansion to my current setup. I'm told it is iSCSI. Any quick knowledge on how to add this to my current array to expand my storage?
June 18, 20224 yr Looking at guides it looks like it has the following connection methods, but you would need to check. Fibre Channel, iSCSI, or SAS connectorsConnection to a Fibre Channel fabric, iSCSI network, or a direct connection to servers with SAS HBAs 6 Gbps SAS connectors for SAS port redundancy and additional expansion enclosures NOTE SAS connectors are SFF-8086/SFF-8088 compliant So you would need an HBA with external connections and cables.

July 25, 20223 yr Author I'll have to double check. I may have a controller card in HBA mode in there already.
