I just purchased Unraid, and am setting up my build.

I already have an LSI 9200-16E HBA. Can I use it with my internal drives? Like, can I loop the cable back into the case to my drive, or is that a bad idea?

Thanks in advance!

I do with no issues.  My only complaint with the setup was that the 3xSFF-8088 to SATA cabling cost more than the HBA (server pull)
