I have an ancient DS414 that works. I also have an Optiplex 7060. I would like to connect the DS414 to the optiplex so that the newer system can manage services and function as a nas. I would like to avoid running anything through the intel atom cpu on the DS414. My ideal solution would be connecting the DS414's backplane directly to the optiplex, but it appears to be using a PCIE connector for both data and power.

I like having a nice clean disk enclosure as the optiplex doesn't have as much HDD space as I would like it to have.

Is this doable? If it is, is it a stupid thing to do? All advice is very much appreciated
