Creating Lab Z600 server - Add 3x3tb drive HDs for raid storage and an SSD for System Drive

Hi All,

 

I have a Z600 that I bought several years ago. I now want to use this as a home lab/server (planning ESXi  install with VCSA, some VMs and potentially a home file server).

 

I wanted to change the front 2 bays (currently DVD drive and blanking plate) so overall I can fit a 1TB drive and 3 x 3TB drives (WD RED 3 TB NAS).

 

From what I have read I should be able to find an internal drive caddy (?) that fits and will need to use a raid HBA card to be able to get the Storage drives connected?

 

Can someone please advise on if I need the RAID card and what other factors I need to take into consideration?

 

Advice would be much appreciated 🙂
