Hello everyone!

I'm new to using FreeNAS and I'm thinking of setting up a small server to test and learn how to use FreeNAS. I know that one of the most crucial points in the hardware configurations for a FreeNAS is always the disk controller.

As the idea is to use an old HP Microserver Gen8 server (xeon 4 core + 16GB ram), I am thinking of installing an HBA LSI 9211-8i controller on that server and placing 4 4TB hard drives. I will install FreeNAS on a flash drive, that is, these disks are only for the “ZFS matrix”.

Could anyone confirm if this setup will work?
