I was wondering if PCI Express 3 would be better for that many disk. I've just updated my this topic. Thanks

I'm looking for a HBA with 16i ports. Motherboard ( ASUS Dual Scalable Xeon WS C621E SAGE EEB Workstation Motherboard) CPU X2 ( Intel 8 Core Xeon Silver 4110 2.1GHz) RAM 64GB Case (logic-case, Product Code/SKU: SC-4824, 4U Server Case w/ 24x 3.5" Hot-Swappable SATA/SAS Drive Bays, 6Gb/s MiniSAS) So I'm looking for a HBA with 16 ports as MB already has 10 and case has 24 disks slots. The server main thing is Plex so will not be writing lots off small files but will be streaming 4K movies. I've looked at the support list and there are not many 16 port one on there and when I've looked to buy most come up with end of life so not able to buy a new and most seem very old models so was not sure if they would be best option to go with. I have a HighPoint RR2840A 16 Port PCIe SATA/SAS Raid Card already in the machine but this one is a new card and not working with UNraid at the moment. But would like to reuse cables if possible with new card. Any more information required please let me know. This was all got to be a freeNAS server and all worked in freeNAS but the VM in freeNAS is not that good as I'm planning on making a gaming VM my main PC from here later on. If I can get it to work as I'm new to UNraid. Thanks for any help you can give me.

I know it's dont recommend to use a raid card but this card can be use as a HBA as well,

hi yes the card is in the server ive just upload diagnostics tower-diagnostics-20180807-1630.zip

I have change over from freenas to unraid but cannot seem to find out if I need to install a driver for this crad like in freenas "HighPoint RR2840A 16 Port PCIe SATA/SAS Raid Card" I cannot see drives connect to it in unraid.
