Media Build - Cable Question

[RFtesla]

Hi Everyone,

I've been using FreeNAS for the past 5 years on consumer gear and everything has gone ok but I've got a hard drive on the way out and it's time to expand and have a bit more reliability in my build.

This will only be serving 2 people with no transcoding.

Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSM-F
CPU: Intel G4560
Ram: Samsung M391A2K43BB1-CPB 16GB DDR4
Hard Drives: WD 6 TB Red x6 in RaidZ2
Case: Supermicro CSE-836BE16-R920B
HBA: HP H220 6Gbps SAS PCI-E 3.0 HBA LSI 9207-8i P20 IT Mode

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to enterprise hardware, but here is the server chassis I ordered: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Supermicro-CSE-836BE16-R920B-3U-Server-Chassis-2x-920W-16-Bay-BPN-SAS2-836EL1/283181920696?ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

This came with the case: Supermicro cbl-0108l-02

What is the cable type I need in order to connect up the backplane to the HP card? The card mentions supporting 4 drives per lane. I'm not as familiar with what I should be searching for to connect the two components.

RFtesla I purchased the same chassis and HBA. I'm still collecting parts but I believe you just connect the Supermicro cbl-0108l-02 from the backplane to the HBA card.

For your HBA I think you could use something like this:

Mini SAS to 4-SATA SFF-8087 Multi-Lane Forward Breakout Internal Cable

Yeah it definitely snaps in but I'm just worried about if it will find all the drives or there will be some kind of performance cap. I'm going to start building this weekend and just see what happens.
