January 27, 20206 yr Hello, I am going to be getting a HP DL360p G8, but this only supports 2.5" Drives. My question would be is there like a 4bay Enclosure that can be wired directly to SAS so I could use 3.5" Drives instead of the 2.5? And be able to fully utilize it in unraid?
January 27, 20206 yr Don't limit yourself at 4 slots. Make a DIY JBOD box. get an sas expander with a x4 port out the back. Get an hba and connect it to the expander (or you can also get the 20 dollar cards that convert it to the right cable), then cable that to the enclosure with another x4 input. then either use breakout cables to connect directly to the drives. I've used an md1000 before for quite a while, but it was loud and power hungry. after I build my jbod encloser, its way quieter, uses less electricity. Edited January 27, 20206 yr by 1812
