April 29, 20215 yr I cant find a definite answer on recognizing larger then 2tb drives. If the controller's on the mobo don't support larger then 2tb then I would need to get AOC-SASLP-MV8 and tie the backplane into it? SAS Broadcom SAS1068E RAID 0, 1, 10 support (Optional: AOC-IButton68) RAID 5 support SATA Intel ICH10R SATA 3.0Gbps Controller RAID 0, 1, 5, 10 support (Windows) RAID 0, 1, 10 support (Linux) Backblane is SAS-826TQ

April 29, 20215 yr Author so the backplane doesn't matter in this case? its just the controller the backplane is plugged into? its a 12bay server and I only have 3 drives ATM so I can wait to get a controller later THANK YOU!

April 29, 20215 yr Author thanks! Here is what the listing states Supermicro 2U Server Chassis Model – CSE-826 SAS-826TQ B20ackplane is installed Operates at 6gb/s No RAID card included 8 Bays are wired to the onboard SAS controller – SAS or SATA 4 Bays are wired to the onboard SATA controller – SATA ONLY X8DT3-LN4F Motherboard 2x Xeon X5650 2.66ghz 12mb Cache 6.4 GT/s 6-Core CPUs Select Your Memory Configuration 24GB will be configured 6x4GB 10600R ECC Registered 48GB will be configured 12x4GB 10600R ECC Registered 12x 3.5″ Trays (2 Screws / Tray) 2x 720w Power Supplies (PWS-721P-1R) No Drives Included No Rails Included 30 Day Warranty From this I take it is direct connection due to 8 bays are into one controller and 4 are into another controller Thanks!
