Setting up attached storage in HA OS for Scrypted NVR

I have an HA instance running on a MinisForum MS-01

I want to install Scrypted NVR using attached storage

I was thinking of using a PCIe adapter such as the Broadcom 9500-8e attached to an Icy Dock with a 16Tb SATA drive

Questions:

  • Does that sound like a sensible option or should I consider USB 3.0 or Thunderbolt instead?

  • How do I setup a second drive in HA OS and configure Scrypted NVR to use it?

Thanks
