Attention!! Novice here.

Just got my hands on this Motherboard for free:

https://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/eol/introduction.php?S_ID=774#overview

Was thinking of salvaging it and converting it to a NAS. I was planning to connnect two hdds and run TrueNas. It won`t get a lot of traffic and speed is not really a concern.

It only got two Sata connectors and one PCI-E 2.0 x1 Slot.

What would be the best and safest way to connect another drive for the OS?

Depending on which OS you choose, you could just run an OS straight off a USB stick plugged into the back or plugged into one of the internal headers
