Hi all, I currently have a nas with 5 harddrives that all run through the motherboard. I have just ordered another 5 that will give me a total of 10 hard drives. I will need a raid controller for these and have found that the SASUC8I Intel RAID Controller works with freenas. I currently have an MSI P55-GD53 Motherboard that only has one pci express slot.
Theres a basic graphics card in the top pci express slot. My question is, will I be able to remove the graphics card and place the raid card there instead, or will I need a different motherboard that has a second pci express slot? Is there anyone else who uses this raid controller with freenas? And also does this raid controller support drives bigger than 2tb?
