LAS SAS Controller or unboard SATA ports


Recommended Posts

Hi, I'm building a new Unraid Server with a Asrock X570M and a AMD 3900X.   The motherboard has 8 SATA ports.   I plan to use 4 HDD and 2 SSD for cache.   Awhile ago I purchased a HP H220 6Gbs SAS PCI-E 3.0 HBA LSI 9207-8i P20 Controller for another server but didn't end up using it?   Would it be a good idea to use the controller or are the onboard SATA ports good enough.   I'm not sure who makes the onboard SATA controller or is there a general advantage to use the controller either way.   Any help will greatly be appreciated.   Thanks!
