Comment on New home server: what hypervisor/OS?
peregus@lemmy.world 7 months agoDoes it works with SATA drives and, most important: can it provides the single drives to the OS without RAID (since I would want to use a software RADI like RIADz)?

Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You’d need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)

Interesting, I’ll have a look on how to flash the IT mode. Thanks!

It’s very easy to find them with IT mode already flashed so it’s plug-and-play.

Cool! What’s your feeling about SnapRaid and MergerFS instead of RAIDz?
