I currently have an HBA and a few SAS HDDs that I'm using with my computer. I'd like to add more drives, but for that I'd like to know if I could use them with a Raspberry Pi and make myself a cloud server, as I likely won't have space on my desk for a rack I'm planning to get to store my drives in externally. As far as power goes, I'm thinking of looking into using a power supply from an old Dell Optiplex I have sitting in storage not being used for both powering the drives (with power splitters) and the Pi if I can. As far as connecting the HBA to the Pi, I'm unsure of how that would work. In any case, though I'd appreciate it, I'm not yet looking for help and or guidance on setting something like this up just yet. I'm more-so wanting to know if something like this would be cost effective and or possible.
