Hi guys,
I'm new to the FreeNAS community and is considering building a home server using the FreeNAS software. My motherboard doesn't have the required amount of SATA-ports, and I therefore need to invest in a SAS/SATA Controller.
I'm currently considering these Broadcom Controllers:
SAS 9300-8i Host Bus Adapter (12 GB/s)

SAS 9207-8i Host Bus Adapter (6 GB/s)
https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-9207-8i
Will be using WD Red Pro 10TB (6 GB/s) HDD's. So the question is if one or the other is more compatible with FreeNAS? Is there any reason why I should go with the newer and more expensive SAS 9300?
Thanks guys for any help!
