I have a 16bay norco case, every 4 drives it has a SAS connector. I tried to use a SAS to 4x SATA cable to connect direct to asRock C2750D4I motherboard sata ports, however the BIOS+Freenas did not detect the drives. When connecting drives direct to motherboard using SATA to SATA it works and motherboard detects.
I have 8x 6TB HGST drives, no raid. I would like to still utilize the case's SAS connector on the hot-swappable drive bays, so iam wondering what are some supported PCIE SAS/SATA controllers that can support 8x 6tb drives through 2x SAS connectors?
thanks
