Next step in data storage

I'm in a similar boat, my Optiplex has a small m.2 expansion slot, I believe intended for a WiFi chip.

I nought a dual SATA card for it, just need to find a nice enclosure that will power 2 drives and provide a direct SATA connection to some 3.5" disks.

If anyone knows of some let me know!

My current setup of shitbox servers

I'm in a similar boat with storage stress, I have a mini Dell Optiplex with a single nvme and 2.5in drive available.

I have bought a small m.2 to 2 x SATA card, but I really need a nice housing + power for internal 3.5in drives to make it useful.

Anyone have experience with this? All I see online are USB drive caddies, I'd really love it to be SATA.

Damn that's frustrating, thanks for the info. I guess I already expected this to be a poor solution. Perhaps slow performance, but I guess I never considered the option of data corruption as well.

I wonder if something like ZFS in a mirror could be used to mitigate the risk of something like this?
