Dell R410 & two LaCie 4Big Quadra (USB 2.0). Will unRaid work with this configuration?

Hi all, I've recently gotten a steal on a Dell R410 with similar config to this (no drives though, appears to be limited to 2TB drives x4 bays unless I upgrade the internal RAID card) https://www.amazon.com/Dell-PowerEdge-R410-E5620-300GB/dp/B00T8K8NFW

 

I also have 2x LaCie 4Big Quadra enclosures I can add more drives to (appears to be limited to 3TB drives per bay for 12TB each) : http://www.lacie.com/files/lacie-content/datasheet/4big_quadra_en.pdf

 

I've been doing some reading and I'm having trouble determining if these will work.

 

Something else I've had trouble looking up (because the features so new) is how many SSD's I should consider for cashing purposes. Two? Bigger the better or should I size them for the kind of content I intend to access daily?

 

I'd like maximum redundancy over storage at the moment. Thanks in advance.

So to get past the 2TB limit on the R410 you are going to have to replace the RAID controller with something that will do JBOD like an H310.

As for those LaCie enclosures, I don't believe unRAID supports eSATA so I can't see how you'll be able to attach those to the Dell and use them in unRAID.
