Improved NAS Options

Currently I have a full ATX case with hot swap bays in the front but cabling in this thing is getting a little crazy. I recently acquired a Dell PowerVault MD3200i. I would like to move my setup over but from what I'm finding online my current Sata drives will not work with it. Am I wrong on that. If this won't work I'm thinking about selling it and getting something that will work. Does this sound like a good option?¿ What might I get that would be compatible with my Sata drives and could purchase for less then I sell the MD3200i for.

 

Also I have a Dell 710 I'm running Unraid on that it will connect with.

According to this it was designed to use SAS drives, but it is compatible with regular sata drives:

At least on the HW side, IDK on the SW side of things.
