Does it works with SATA drives and, most important: can it provides the single drives to the OS without RAID (since I would want to use a software RADI like RIADz)?
Yeah, so the IT mode flash makes it just a JBOD controller, which is what truenas wants. It works with SAS and SATA. You'd need SFF-8086 to SATA cables. (One cable per 4 drives)
Interesting, I'll have a look on how to flash the IT mode. Thanks!
It's very easy to find them with IT mode already flashed so it's plug-and-play.
Cool! What's your feeling about SnapRaid and MergerFS instead of RAIDz?
If you're using TrueNAS, use RAIDz. Doing anything else negates all the benefits of TrueNAS.
Got it, thanks!
