March 28, 20233 yr Guys, I am using an old Dell as my unRaid system. Dell Inc. 0C2KJT , Version A00 Dell Inc., Version A07 I now have 4 - 4 gb drives and the mother board is full, I would like to get a PCIe or another card to add more hard disk. Can you get me some direction on what card I should get? Also I have a 300 watt power supply, should I upgrade if I add 2 or 3 more drives.
March 28, 20233 yr Author I was looking at this card, what do you think? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VZZ11GB/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B07VZZ11GB&linkCode=as2&tag=warehousealve-20&linkId=ee801a7a5cb5c9cb81147ebdaf2912c5

Much faster for sure. Next week I will look into added another data drive. Thank you again for your help here.
