Just a note to close this post off... I have given up on hardware RAID given a few of the comments/replies on other posts asking a similar question - nothing concrete, but I get the impression fewer layers between HexOS and the HDDs is better? That said, I still needed 8 SATA ports for my config. As such I bought a $50 CAD SATA card and all seems OK - still an extra layer, still works! E

I can confirm that a Diyeeni 8 port SATA card bought for $50 CAD on Amazon last week works fine. The Diyeeni name likely means nothing, and the specs of the card seem pretty generic but here they are: Item Type:PCI-E to SATA 3.0 Card Model:PCE8SAT-M01 Master: Fit for Marvell 88SE92xx+JMB5XX Interface: PCI-E 1X 2X 4X 8X 16X Support System:Fit For Windows 7/8/XP/10 Fit For Ubuntu Expansion Interface: 8 x SATA3.0 Interfaces Compliant with Serial ATA 3.0 specification, backward compatible with SATA2.0 SATA1.0; PCI-Express v2.0 compliant, backward compatible with PCI-Express v1.0. Supports speeds of 6.0 Gbps, 3.0 Gbps and 1.5 Gbps; supports Gen 1i, Gen 1x, Gen 2i, Gen 2m, Gen 2x, and Gen 3i. Supports AHCI1.0 mode and IDE mode, native command queue (NCQ), FIS based on port multiplier switch or command switching and hot plug. Compatible with SATA6G, 3G and 1.5G hard drives. User with SATA3.0 data cable for best results. The card came with a CD or DVD for firmware, but I have not used it and HexOS is currently operating smoothly with the card. Cheers, E.

Hi, I am currently running a ServeRAID M5015 in a dieing chassis - fan headers inop and random ram problems. Will HexOS be able to use this card to create pools, or do I need another card to expand the 'ol new to me Dell to 8 drives? Thanks! E
