Hello, thanks in advance for reading and helping if possible.
I started building a FreeNAS server for our lab users last week using the following hardware found in the lab:
- SuperMicro X11SCA-F-O Motherboard
- Ballistix Sport LT 32GB DDR4 2400Mhz RAM (2x16GB)
- 3 x SYBA SI-PEX40071 (8 x SATAIII multiplier PCIe... I'm pretty sure this is where the no no is, since it is stated in the Hardware Reqs documentation not to use multipliers)
- Intel Core i3 8100 Coffee Lake
- Norco RPC-4224 4U Rackmount server case 24 SAS/SATA bays
- 24 x 2TB 7200RPM Seagate SAS HDDs
Now part of the reason I am building this is because we scavenged a whole bunch of perfectly good HDDs and the rest was lying around basically. I know that the SATA multipliers are not to be used with FreeNAS, but from the output of

I will still attach the output of

dmesg
I can still see the Marvell controllers and everything. Is it completely impossible to get this exact setup running with the full 24 disks (using FreeNAS or not), or will I have to get something like the following + 6 SFF to SFF cables:https://www.newegg.ca/supermicro-aoc-sas2lp-mv8-sata-sas/p/N82E16816101792?Description=SFF SFF&cm_re=SFF_SFF-_-16-101-792-_-Product
