    HP microserver 40NL, with a  IBM serveraid m1015 sas/sata raid controller
    in jbod mode.

    I use the internal 4 sata 2 connectors with 4x3Tib hard drives, and I
    bought one of these (not available any more, unfortunately):
    https://azerty.nl/0-1651-403300/sharkoon-sata-quickport-intern-6-bay-.html

    I replaced the cd/dvd drive with that bay expansion, I have 2 laptop drives
    as rpool and one ssd as cache. If I run out of space I can add 3 2,5'' hard
    drives to the pool, or create a new pool. It even has a e-sata connection,
    so I could add an external enclosure as well.

    I got the kvm module as well, so it's quite a convenient litlle thing.

    Not the fastest cpu, but hey, for that price and low consumption .. ;-)
