Hi, I've decided to create a home server from my old Dell Optiplex 7040 mff. I need to have a couple of HDDs (2x2TB, 2x4TB) and 2xSSD for boot and backup of this boot SSD. But I have only one SATA port on the motherboard and one NVMe that's why I bought this:

When I connect this to my Windows PC it works and can work with the HDDs that are connected to it, but when I try to plug it into my Dell where I have Proxmox installed the HDDs are now available when I check in the console with commands like: lsblk.

The disks are in NTFS file system and I've added a package called
Code: 
ntfs-3g
but again I can not see the disks. The idea is to mount the disks and change the format to ZFS.

How I can resolve my problem and why I can't see my disks in Proxmox? Can you suggest me something?
 
Hi,

so in lsblk the disks are visible? Can you please post the complete output of lsblk -f -o +MODEL,VENDOR,TYPE?

maybe on your desktop it's m2/pciexpress and on the Dell Optiplex 7040 mff it's a m2/Sata.

if it's a m2/sata, not compatible with the m2 card you have.

Code: 
I can confirm that the Optiplex 7040 is compatible with B+M keyed M.2 SATA SSDs.

Are you sure that this is the same for mff PCs? Because these images are from my PC. I think that I have one M2/PCIe fot the network card and one M2/NVMe.
