Might be a blessing in disguise bricking two perc cards in one swoop... perccli doesn't detect either card (H730 [accidentally flashed] and H330 [probably incorrectly flashed]. Learn from me - don't flash a card without disconnecting the other first :)
I've learned that H730s aren't real HBAs, so even if I can unbrick it, I want something that will work. I have 18x3.5" drives (SAS and SATA) and also 4x2.5" SAS SSDs.
The 18 drives take 2 connections themselves (currently from the H730) from a SAS backplane inside the tower
The 4x2.5" were connected to the H330
I'm looking at Inspur LSI 3008 cards. My concerns are:
I found a couple hardware guides here and servethehome - LSI 3008s seem to be at a good price point for 12Gb setup.

I'm looking at Inspur LSI 3008 cards. My concerns are:
- any issue with running SAS and Sata drives on these cards? The mixture will be part of a zpool
- can these cards passthrough to a TrueNAS scale VM
- anything that'll keep this build from working as expected
