Hello, guys! As the title suggests, I am looking for an HBA. The chassis I am planning to get is an Inwin IW-RS216-07 with 8x 3.5-inch SAS/SATA bays and 2x 4x 7mm U.2 SSD bays.
I am not sure which HBA (or perhaps multiple HBAs) would be suitable to utilize the full capabilities of the backplanes. Just to clarify, I am talking about an HBA and NOT a RAID card, as I will be using the system with ZFS.
Any suggestions or directions to which HBA to get would be greatly appreciated!
Awesome thanks for the great help! I find it slightly confusing with all the connector types and backplane stuff. This helps out a load. I think I will go for the layout you laidout their.
