Hi, I have this server at my home. I also have 5/6 older 3.5 SATA drives sitting in my cupboard. I use unraid and I was contemplating adding these to the server.
I have 4 HDD already in the server, so if I was to add a Case like the Fractal Design Define for the HDD, what would I need to connect the server to the case? (I am very new to home servers, so I apologies for the newbie questions)
I saw on reddit this reply:
I would love to hear from anyone that has put external drives in the HPE Gen10 Plus and their cost efficient configuration.
Thank you.

I saw on reddit this reply:
- You can use a cheap SAS card like this one, flashed in IT mode to connect up to 8 SATA drives. Other cards may be repurposed but not all flash to IT mode. There is a lot of material on this topic on YT. PCIe to SATA cards exist but those are either expensive or questionable IMO.

Thank you.
