power supply and HDD extender

[phier]

hello,
is it possible to recommend what brand of power supply and how many W are good for 8 HDD assume each consuming ~6-10W (plus Celeron cpu 75W)

Also what is the best brand to extend add extra sata ports via PCI? The mb is supermicro.
I assume this one has to be supported by mb?

I have X11SSL-F so what is the best way to add additional SATA here?


Thanks

Any SAS HBA card. (not RAID card, or if it is, make sure that you can crossflash to IT mode)

I've noticed you've been posting a lot of hardware/build questions. You can probably answer most of your questions using the Hardware Recommendations Guide: https://www.truenas.com/community/resources/hardware-recommendations-guide.12/

That's a cable and will do you no good with an X11SSL-F board. As mentioned above, have a look the posted link for details on what to buy.
