Savimaki Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hello everyone!I am planning on moving a current unraid setup to a different case and adding hard drives. It will be formatted so no need to worry about data. I am planning on using an Inter-Tech 4U 4408 case with the backplanes and a DeLock PCIe x2 > 10x Internal SATA 6Gb/s -expansion card. Do I need to get a 1x SFF-8087 > 4x SATA *Crossover* cable or a not crossover one. I know the PCIe 2x slot isn't probably enough, but it should be ok since I will be connecting half of the SATA ends staight to the motherboard (if that works). Do you guys have anything to say about the setup? Any problems I didn't notice? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment
ChatNoir Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I am not sure that the 10 ports SATA card is recommended for Unraid. I suspect that it uses port multipliers. The data sheet is not super clear on that but 2 PCIE lanes for 10 SATA is suspicious and the PCB picture seems to confirm that. https://www.delock.de/produkt/89384/merkmale.html?setLanguage=en The recommended controllers are there : Quote Link to comment
Savimaki Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 I took a look at the recommended ones already, but availabilty in Finland is honestly quite bad. What could I expect if I used the 10 port one but just used some of them. I really don't have many options Quote Link to comment
