I've purchased a second-hand RS3617RPxs on Prime Day and I'm quiet happy with it and I'd like to expand it.
I'm out of slots and I'd like to add a 6 disk raid-6 array.
Synology is selling an expansion unit at https://www.amazon.com/Synology-RX1217RP-Redundant-Expansion-RackStation/dp/B01K1JTJ2O at $2000, which is around $1500 above my budget and even a little more than I originally paid for the RS3617RPxs.
Since the expansion port is eSata. Can I just add a normal eSata enclosure to expand my Synology or not?
