I need help with adding hard drives to the server Proliant ML350 Gen9.
I have a SFF version, tower orientation. Currently, there are 6 SAS 2.5'' hard drives installed in box number 6, which are connected to the SAS controller installed (since supply by the distributor). The remaining 5 of 6 drive boxes are empty - there are blanks.
I have a couple of SATA drives: both 3.5'' HDDs and 2.5'' SSDs. I want them to make server disk resources. Exactly what accessories I need to buy?
I know that for each type of drive I have to install them in separate boxes. I do not know what are the names and product numbers of required accessories. The documents show that in one box can be mounted vertically up to 2 drives 3.5'' or up to 8 drives 2.5''. I suppose I need a frame/cage to mount "caddies", which are placed one by one drives. I hope, I don't need any new controller. I have a sufficient number of unoccupied SATA ports on the motherboard.
If necessary, I can upload photos showing how hardware configuration looks now.
Thank you in advance for your help.
