Actually, it might be even easier to have a few external single disk
chassis, like ICY BOX IB-351StU3S-B. Deltaco makes a few and there are
others.
You put a sata-esata adapter in your server and hook up as many external
boxes as you need.
If you have a rack mount 1U server at home (many do in these turbulent
times... :-) ) this might be the only reasonable alternative for adding
just a little capacity.
It gets a bit cluttered, though, so, are there external boxes with space
for five or so disks, it's own power supply and pass-thru SATA/SAS?
And what would be a cheap controller card to put in your little 1U server?

Supermicro may bit a bit overkill for the home server :)
Oops, missed that it's a home machine. Yeah, then it's totally overkill.
For home usage a small pass-thru JBOD is totally sufficient:

It even has dual-port support for those crazies that need it at home :)
