March 15, 20251 yr Morning all, I currently have 2 x LSI SAS2008 cards in my system driving 14 HDD's and 1 x SSD's for a total of 15 drivers. My system is a thread ripper system so PCIe lanes isnt really an issue for me. The problem I have is that I currently have 2 x Video cards which I need and 2 x HBA cards which due to the amount of drives I have I need. I want to add a 4 port network card to my system but dont have enough PCIe slots. I know I could add an expander but dont really have room in my system for one. I am thinking of getting an LSI SAS3416 card which would negate needing two LSI SAS2008 cards. Will I be doing my system a disservice by making the change from SAS2008 to SAS3416?
