Thanks john , so plex basically dont support it ? I was hoping to take some load of the CPU whilst transcending on plex but I'll leave as is for now and get a dedicated gpu in the future. Probably get nvidia anyway which plex looks to support. In terms of the windows version how do you mean? Create a windows vm as the plex server ? And pass it through

Just wondering if this is at all possible. I have tried reading around but cant find a definitive answer . Looking to pass it through to a docker plex so I can hardware encode. If its not possible via docker is it possible via VM . Otherwise I suppose I will need to buy a dedicated gpu

Thanks , found the cable , I'll have a look for controllers and give it a go. Appreciate the help on this.

Thanks, will this work with any sas controller and is there any recommended for unraid or will any do ?

Hello, first post on here but could really do with some help or opinions . I have started my build and I want to utilise a number of 2tb sas drives I have I know I cant use them natively with an matx build as its backplane is sata however I am struggling to find any detail regarding pci-e sas controllers From what I am aware sas combines power and the connector but I'm struggling to understand how I could connect my sas drives to my build . If anyone has any recommendations it would be appreciated . My build is as follows Ryzen 5 16gb 2 x 4tb ironwolf 1 x 500 GB m2 for cache I really want to add my 6 x 2tb sas to my array as I already have these drives Thanks in advance
