Comment on Looking for advice for media server storage expansion

If you’re not worried about the desktop’s age or ability, you can just expand the array by growing the volume with bigger drives.
You don’t want to run raid on a DAS unless it for some reason handles it’s own, and then you might as well just get a NAS.
If you’re simply looking for more disk slots, you could rebuild and transfer your array into another machine, but then you’re probably back to NAS being a cheaper option.
