No, they will show up as SAS/sgx drives and will not be detected by DSM.

That's a pity.

Well - What will happen when I connect some SATA drives to my LSI SAS HBA? Do DSM recognize them properly?

I think you misread ThorGroups latest post. SAS support is not there yet, it's one of the things on the list to be addressed before they will release first beta. No SAS no LSI support. Also official support for adding unsupported hardware is also on the list of things that will be solved.

Thanks, Piteball.
Really excited and can't wait to try out the new loader. I thought there is already some way to 'inject' driver file into the loader and DSM installer as well.
Then I will wait and also discover myself to see if I can help.

We're not there yet, don't use important data which is value to you. Keep your data in where it is, use test data for test only. I am using LSI 9311 for hdd pool, X520 for 10g nic, I haven't found out how to inject those driver yet, still under observation
Thanks!
Looking forward to have custom driver support.

Hi @ThorGroup ! Many thanks to your contribution.
I was trying to build a new bare-metal setup using DSM 7.0, and then migrate data from my existing DSM 6.2.3 (using Jun's mod).
Hardware brief:
- Intel Core i7-6700K (Skylake) with ASUS Z170 motherboard
- 2 SATA SSDs connected to onboard SATA ports
- LSI 9300-8i HBA card (requires mpt3sas driver) with 2 SATA, 2 NLSAS drives
- Intel X710-DA2 10GbE NIC (requires i40e driver)
- RedPill-Loader image burned to USB flash disk using Rufus
After tried both DS918+ and DS3615xs RedPill-LKM images, I stucked:
- When using DS918+ image, the DSM installer can only recognize SSDs on onboard SATA ports
- When using DS3615xs, the installer cannot recognize any disks at all (maybe the kernel too old?)
- Onboard Intel i219-V NIC works well (since I can access DSM installer web page), while I hadn't confirm whether X710 works or not yet
Seems it just lack some recent drivers in the image. And luckily I can confirm which driver is used by these hardware.
So is there any way to inject / include / copy some driver files (probably *.ko) into the RP image?

Many thanks to @ThorGroup. Really fantastic explanations for noobs like me.
