  1. Hello thanks for any input. I have read quite a bit. Thank you @IG-88 and @flyride for all the posts with useful information. I currently have 1) synology 218+(apollo lake) with 2 Toshiba N300 NAS 4TB spinners,16 gig ram, running DSM 6.xx 2) Xpenology i7 2600k sandybridge, ASUS P8Z68-V PRO(4 sata 6gbs + 4 sata 3gbs + 2 esata 3gbs ports) 16 gig ram(it think there is 32 gig but only recog 16), 4 WD80ezaz11TD-ba0 spinners, 800 watt OCZ platinum PS, 120gb vertex ssd running DSM 6.xx (DS3615xs) I was given by my IT dept at my hospital(I regularly dumpster dive for old hardware ala war games and they know me) an elite desk 800 g3 sff with an i5-6500(4core, 4 thread Skylake),32 gigs of ram,180 watt PS, It has 3 sata ports (I think 6gbs),1 M.2 2230 for optional wireless NIC, 1 M.2 internal connector for optional SSD drive,2 low-profile PCIe (x1),2 full-height PCIe x16, one wired as x4. My use case 1)synology 218+ : Plex stack in docker 2)sandybridge XpenologyNAS and Home assistant runs in a VM Network environment: Brocade 6450p 48 port enterprise switch(4 unlocked 10gbs ports and 48 gig ports). I'm trying to get cat 6a installed in my house but it's a challenge. I have been for a long while thinking about switching the sandybridge system to the elitedesk but I am not sure about exactly what hardware to get or even if I should bother. I would like to add the 4 drives currently in use and make room for 2 more spinners with room for more in the future The biggest barrier I think on the elitedesk is the lack of sata ports which the OLD Asus has in abundance. I have read quite a bit about expansion cards to add hard drives either spinners or SSD’s and I think this is probably where I need the most advice. I am getting confused between HBA, SAS, and sata controllers. I am also getting confused about what's going on the expansion card in terms of lanes and what's best. Here is what I have come up with after reading. https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/35882-new-sataahci-cards-with-more-then-4-ports-and-no-sata-multiplexer/ 1)M2 key slot sata expanders are bad 2)If I can find a cheap sas controller at the recycler/dumpster dive maybe try it even though it sounds iffy with 918+ (is skylake good enough to transcode do you think?) 3)I probably should get a sata/ahci card based on JMB585 but maybe ASMedia ASM1166 is acceptable now? I can't tell from the thread here https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/35882-new-sataahci-cards-with-more-then-4-ports-and-no-sata-multiplexer/ Here are some options I have looked at https://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX00120961 (I can't find the chip that the manufacturer used) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004525617521.html chipset:JMB585 https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003346314019.html the 4x 6/10 sata port chipset:JMB582 Im open to any feedback ...sorry for the long post just trying to include all the details
