I haven't really played with anything IT in years so now that I'm trying to setup a big personal storage server all the changes since I last did anything like this are a bit daunting. I have an opportunity to get some big server storage devices cheap (various server rack storage arrays, 8-24 drives) but have no clue how to connect them to my server. I already had a whoopsie and got a small 4 drive enclosure but only later found out it only uses Thunderbolt and my comp doesn't have one. These big ones I'm thinking of buying have SAS connections I think, don't think my little mini server can connect with these since it already doesn't have something as common as a thunderbolt of usb-c.
