December 13, 20232 yr I currently have a Fractal Node 804 with 12 gen i5 32 DDR4 RAM and 10 - 18tb hdds (8 in array with 2 parity). I am running out of space and have approx 8 10tb drives that still work but we're upgraded to my 18tbs. Could u connect a drobo pro with my 10tb drives and have it part of my array? What enclosure would allow me to add my 8 x 10tb drives to my current setup without breaking the bank?
December 13, 20232 yr You could use a SAS expander JBOD with another 8i HBA. https://www.pc-pitstop.com/8-bay-expander-tower-trayless Or possibly a USB/C JBOD. https://www.amazon.com/QNAP-TL-D800C-Desktop-Enclosure-Connectivity/dp/B086WCRFQ3?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1 https://www.amazon.com/Syba-Swappable-Drive-External-Enclosure/dp/B07MD2LNYX/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1R2191VVMMSCR&keywords=8%2Bdrive%2Bjbod&qid=1702435563&s=electronics&sprefix=8%2Bdrive%2Bjbod%2Celectronics%2C109&sr=1-5&th=1
