Hi all.
So now am low on sata slots and need more
I was looking at some of these cards for use with freennas.
I understand they will need to be flashed to work well with freenas.
So if I buy one, flash and put into my machine can i:
Attach all drives through it and boot from the any drives attached.
It means all my boot & data drives go through the card and will they be standard bootable drives recognised in the BIOS.
My reasons are straight forward.
Firstly I need more sata ports as needed.
Secondly to easily virtualize freenas.
My hardware supports hardware passthorugh.
I wish to install proxmox passing through the card to a VM, specifically freenas.
Freenas has no harware passthrough options for VMs it seems.
Freenas is great for storage and proxmox is great for virtualization. It seems a good idea to use the appropriate one for the task.
AI also intend to install other VMs also.
Anyone using these cards and booting from attached drives?
Thanks.
