Hi FreeNas Community
I've been lurking for quite a while and just recently created my first build. Thanks to many of the posts from users and information in the docs, it's been a successful project for me that I would like to continue.
In my setup one of the things that I noticed is that I quickly ran out of sata power connectors from my PSU (Corsair RM750). It has 8 which is the number of drives I installed.
I'm using an LSI raid card (IBM ServeRaid M1115), and am currently using mini-sas to 4x sata cables. I found that there are different cables that include the sata power connector as well. Dumb question, but w/ those will power fed to the drives directly from the raid card? Is that even possible, I'm assuming the raid card would get it from the motherboard?
This is what I'm currently using: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mini-SAS-to...reakout-Internal-Cable-19-Inch-/151643015691?
This is what I'm considering using: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010CMW6S4/?tag=ozlp-20
Anyone using something like this?
