So I started running truenas on a laptop for small, at home file storage. I just got 2 dell poweredge t320 server cases. Im wondering if anyone knows what way(s) I could connect the two Dell servers to the laptop so that they function as a hdd array while allowing me to access the drives in them. I also want to run RAID6 for the drives for redundency(can never have enough). Any clue how to setup hot swappable capabilities is also appreciated.
I am new to this stuff and can learn relatively quickly so please esplain it as dumbed down and comprehensive as possible. Thank you all in advance. Enjoy!
The laptop is a toshiba satellite c655d with 8gb of ram, 1tb hdd for os and anything else needed, 2tb hdd(replaced cd rom with a sata hdd caddy). Dell t320 uses 8gb ram and 1.2tb sas total drives currently but will be expanded to about 10tb each later down the line.
