Hey folks. Sorry if this has been asked before. I'm pretty sure it will work how I want it to but thought it couldn't hurt to get some of the pro's eyes on it. I currently have an LSI 9207-8e (IT Mode) connected to an 8 bay SAS enclosure from PCPitstop (no expander) using both ports on the HBA. I would like to replace that 2 port HBA with a 9200-16e (IT Mode) and run those same two miniSAS 8088 cables to that 8 bay enclosure but then run two miniSAS 8088 to 4 SATA 7 PIN to two sets of 4 sata drives inside my TrueNAS host case (I know it's cheesy but trying to save on buying another external SAS enclosure). Everything I'm reading looks like it should work but I thought it couldn't hurt posting here. I've outgrown the 12TBx8 disks in my external SAS enclosure and have 14TBx8 disks on the way. Thanks for taking the time to read this. It's much appreciated!
