Hello, I'm looking to move all my accumulated files, mostly media, from my current pc, to thier own dedicated machine, and I'd like to add some more drives. I thought I had a pretty good grasp of the situation; throw a pcie to sata adapter and start throwing drives at it, but I went to buy one such adapter, and I saw that there are different options, chipsets, ports, etc. As I was trying to research what would best suit me, I fell down another rabbit whole, with some people saying, "Get a real solution, like an HBA and SAS expander." These terms were foreign to me so I read up, and now I'm trying to figure out which way to go. I've got a "H510M-HDV" motherboard, Intel 11500t CPU, 32gb of ddr4, and I'd like to ultimately have the ability to add ~6-10 sata drives, in addition to the onboard ports. I was looking at this "https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DYVX5VJ" can someone tell me if this is adequate or make a better suggestion? That's kind of in my sweet spot for budget, but I'm not against spending more if I'll be happier with the result in the end.

Thank you
