![]() ![]() you may ask, why dont you use an dedicated server for that FreeNAS-Stuff? I already got an Dell R420 ESXi and I want to merge this machine to one "big" machine. Card1: Connect SAS Extender and 10 Drives to this connector to passthrough them to FreeNAS Card0: Connect 6 Drives to create a Datastore for ESXi How about two Broadcom 9211-8i + 1 SAS Extender? I could do the following: lets make this possible with external cards!Īvailable Ports in that server should be 1x PCIe x16 Full Profile - 3x PCIe x8 Full Profile - 3x PCIe x8 Low. I know that I can upgrade my Dell Server with H310 and H720p Controllers, but they told me on reddit, that I cant use passthrough on the 720p and the H310 is not so good. Which RAID-Controller should be the best for this scenario? Should I split it into 2 RAID-COntrollers / HBA to get it running? Is this possible? I heard I cant configure some disks to a RAID and the other ones not Use 10 HDDs for FreeNAS (I want to passthrough them to the machine, running FreeNAS) My plan is, to buy a Dell R720 with 16 Slots (I want it 19" for my rack) and build it up for ESXi and FreeNAS. ![]() I plan to build up a new NAS Server to shutdown my old Iomega-NAS.
