The past few weeks I’ve seriously missed the content over at DataHoarder.

Was nice to see mention of this community over here, hope to see more activity soon.

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!

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.
