IG-88 Posted September 19, 2017 Share #2 Posted September 19, 2017 never heard that here but you also can buy cards that have 8 sata ports (or more) http://www.sybausa.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=160 combinig a 8 and a 4 port card will spare a slot and you wont have two card of the same build or check this link an switch through the cards and compare https://www.amazon.com/Syba-SD-PEX40104-PCI-Express-Internal-Controller/dp/B01BBXMLQK (avoid cards with a multiplexer, only use cards with real sata ports or you may have performance issues) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbv3000 Posted September 21, 2017 Share #3 Posted September 21, 2017 On both 5.2 and 6.x I've used two Supermicro 8 port sas cards (using the mvsas.ko driver module) to build a 20 drive system (4 internal + 8 +8 add on controllers). Works fine, the only problem is documenting the drive numbering to the cards/ports which is not always logical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
