This server is configured as Application\database server. There are no empty slots available to add more disks to the server. I would really appreciate if I could get suggestions to expand INTERNAL storage capacity for this box.&nbsp;</P><DIV>One option, I am considering is to add a 500GB NGFF M.2 SSD + M.2 to PCI - E Converter card. My query is if:</DIV><DIV>a) I would reqiure&nbsp;one of these cards and be able to add a new&nbsp;volume for Ubuntu database server.</DIV><DIV>b) Add 2 of these disks and configure software RAID 1.</DIV><DIV>c) Any other suggestion.</DIV><DIV>&nbsp;</DIV><DIV>Any suggestions please...
