Hi all,
I'm using the following small home TrueNAS build with an IBM ServeRaid M1215 flashed to IT-Mode.
The question is if the SAS Expander is really necessary or if I can just use the SATA ports the mainboard provides ?
So far the system is running fine, but I'd like to use the M1215 for a different setup.
TrueNAS 13.0-U3
Mainboard: SuperMicro A2SDi-H-TF with an Atom C3758 and 32GB ECC RAM
Case: SuperMicro SC731
PSU: be quiet! Pure Power 11 300W ATX 2.4
SAS Expander: IBM ServeRaid M1215 flashed to IT-Mode
Pools:
Raidz: 4 x 4TB SSDs
Raidz: 2 x 10TB HDDs
The system serves as a small backup and nextcloud server
Thanks in advance.
