Hello
I have a Supermicro CSE-826A-R920LPB with a BPN-SAS-826A backplane
The mobo is SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SRL-F
it has:
2 x PCI-E 3.0 x8 (in x16) slots
2 x PCI-E 3.0 x8 slots
2 x PCI-E 3.0 x4 (in x8) slots Auto-switch to 1 x8 and 1 x0
1 x PCI-E 2.0 x4 (in x8) slot
I have 12 drives. I've been looking for an HBA/Extender
I've been looking at these HBAs:

Although I'm open to recommendations.
As far as an expander, I haven't been able to find one that is low profile to fit in the chassis, so if anyone knows of one that would work, that would be great.
