My current TrueNAS server is a Supermicro A2SDi-4C-HLN4F : https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/motherboard/A2SDi-4C-HLN4F . The total number of drives supported is 8 in this case.
Currently I am using 4x HDDs and 2xUSD thumdrives for booting.
What I am trying to do is add 4 more drives to the storage pool, and I don't fully understand the "Number of Drives" limitation on my motherboard. If I got it right, USB HDDs and PCI-E all count for the total 8 SATA supported drives?
Does this mean I could get an PCI-E HBA card that supports at least 8 disks and connect all the disk there? (AOC-S2308L-L8e for example)
