Hello everyone,

I own an HP EliteDesk 800 G2 tower running TrueNAS Scale, equipped with an SSD for the host OS and two mirrored HDDs for data storage.

My current challenge is the need to expand storage capacity, but my system lacks physical space for additional HDDs. I’m considering external enclosures as a potential solution. Could you advise me on whether this is a viable option? If so, do you have any recommendations for specific hardware and should I also consider adding a SATA card for this setup?
