then maybe it's cheaper with a new motherboard with 10 ports http://www.tradera.com/item/344519/...gMdvphccnW4zC4LghKfJ3shc_VOQdn5BoCD5MQAvD_BwE
The Internet has many different answers from no, it won't even post to, yeah just not in ECC mode. It basically comes down to the BIOS of it will allow the RAM to run in a non-ECC mode. Sorry we didn't catch that for you earlier.Just read that my Motherboard doesen't support ECC, what will happen if I put them in anyway?
This card is already flashed with the correct firmware:Is there any card that you don't have to flash?
Tis is maybe a stupid question, but this will not work because my discs, wd red, has SATA?This card is already flashed with the correct firmware:

So I just by 8 SAS Cables? or a mix?No, a SAS controller works fine on SATA disks. See https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...-sas-sy-a-primer-on-basic-sas-and-sata.26145/
So basically two of these? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Internal-Mini-SAS-Breakout/dp/B018YHS8BS?th=1If you're going from a SAS controller to SATA drives, you need a SAS breakout cable, sometimes called a forward breakout cable. You do not want a reverse breakout cable, which looks the same, but is wired differently. The breakout cable will connect to the SAS port and give your four SATA cables.
Looks like that should do the trick to wire up to 8 disks to that HBA.So basically two of these? https://www.amazon.com/Cable-Matters-Internal-Mini-SAS-Breakout/dp/B018YHS8BS?th=1
No, it's no good at all. That's why it's recommended.And this card that is recommended, is it any good?
Everything has a possibility of failing. Moreover, everything will fail eventually.possibility of failing?
Thanks for clearing that up Daniel!No, it's no good at all. That's why it's recommended.

Just FYI, I do not like the Dell H310 becasue you may need to jury rig it with a piece of tape over a few pins to get it to work.
It's the SMCLK and SMDAT signals and failrly well published in the internet. I believe it has to do with the Dell H310 not being used on a Dell motherboard. On my SM motherboard I can disable the SMBus lines by moving two jumpers. Unfortunately not all motherboards are able to make that adjustment hence the taping of a few pins.
Eh, I was just offering some personal experience to try and stay clear of the Dell H310.
