I’m wondering what the best (cheap) option is to have as much storage as possible. I have two DL380 g7 servers with one running lemmy, npm, wireguard and busy getting nextcloud and jellyfin installed. The other one is to run a Proxmox cluster. Just for fun tbh. Amd if needed spare parts. I only have a few tb of storage. Problem is that these have a 2.5 inch harddrive. So expensive drives. Is it a good idea to just buy more drives which will cost me more in the long run i guess… Or should i go for a dedicated storage server with 3.5 drives…
Yeah, you can run a SATA & power extender cable (
or reroute the existing one unlessit’s just a connector soldered to the MoBo) out of the bay and affix a 3.5" drive elsewhere in the box or outside of it.
