March 6, 20242 yr Hey folks, I've been using Unraid since last year to store media, mostly. I built a custom-PC for Unraid, and the case I purchased only has space for 2 3.5 HDDs. So far, this has been fine, but now I want to expand this, and add more HDDs. After some research online, this is what I think I should get to expand hard drive capacity: EMC KTN-STL3 - EMC 15-slot Disk Array Enclosure for 3.5in VNX ($75) For the HDD enclosure LSI 9207-8e SAS HBA 6Gbps PCI-E 3.0 P20 IT mode from Art Of the Server on eBay. ($75) To connect my motherboard to the EMC enclosure above. My motherboard is a Asus ROG Strix B760-F. EMC VNX 3.5" Hard Drive Tray/Caddy with Interposer from eBay. ($12/piece) I have SATA HDDs so I believe I'll need the above to connect the SATA HDDs to the enclosure. MPN: 303-115-003D. Interface: SAS And a SFF-8088 to SFF-8088 cable, of course. Have I got things right? Is this is the approach I should take to get where I need? Obviously if there are better ways to achieve what I am looking for, I'll be happy to hear that. **Thank you so much in advance for helping a noob.** Edited March 6, 20242 yr by ajlk199
