Will absolutely do. One of my biggest 'issues' is; yea I have 12 3.5" bays on
the front backplane - and 2 2.5" on the rear. But all are managed by the Perc
730 Mini... I may buy another HBA/RAID card; but I'm playing around with how to
pass bays to TrueNAS SCALE on the hardware level. I normally pass the entire
RAID card, but in this machine it handles 12-18 bays.
I've also been playing around with just passing individual drives to a VM as
scsi1, scsi2, scsi3, etc in the Proxmox XXX.conf file - this isn't as clean as
passing PCIe passthrough, but it might let me just pass 8 bays and use the
others for other things.
I don't need to be bleeding edge - I intend to add a PCI3 NVME card for
super-fast shares... the bulk of my storage is OK to be a little lagged.
But I wanna do it as best I can - I've decided to test for an EXTENDED period of
time before I ever think about migrating my two other servers into the 730xd -
I'm just stoked to be here.
