June 1, 20197 yr hello i am extremely new to unraid and NAS in general. i currently have Unraid on a Hp prodesk 600 with a 3 gen i5 and 12gb of ram. runs amazingly well the only down side is it only has 1 HDD slot. My question is can i add more storage via an external enclosure like the mediasonic 4 bay enclosure https://www.neweggbusiness.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIV2EJ8U86091&ignorebbr=1&source=region&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleBizMKPL-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleBizMKPL-PC-_-pla-Mediasonic+Store-_-External+Enclosure-_-9SIV2EJ8U86091&gclid=Cj0KCQjwocPnBRDFARIsAJJcf97GXZHDonR4MUhvrIFTgFJaHBqVp2ZEz427xn5E4BJP3Nya8Hh7VFQaAgNyEALw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds or would it be better to just start over as far as hardware goes? any help would be greatly appreciated
