Hi guy ! My route is virtulize everything. Every server I run is virtualize inside VMWare EXSi, but I'm stuck!

I have a Asrock H670 itx motherboard and an Intel i5 12600k processor, in vmware I don't have the possibility to activate the "passthrough" on my SATA controller.

So I'm looking for a controller card to accommodate my 4 disks but I don't know what to buy.. are all the additional cards "passthrough" compatible in vmware? Or do you need a specific card that supports this feature? I found cards but they are mostly LSI SAS / SATA HBA cards and they are expensive....

I have a SATA 6 Gbs disk (Seagate IronWolf).

I found something like this: LSI SAS3008 9300 but these are SAS connectors.. is it possible to connect SATA to SAS?
For me I would need a card like this: "‎PEXSAT34RH" but I'm afraid it's not compatible

Thanks youuu in advance ! !! !
