Thanks @sfbayzfs : The backplane Looks good it is a BPN-SAS2-826EL1 / BPN-SAS2-846EL1. Therefore they are SAS2 and should be fine. As for the Controller I will start using the on-board Controller on the Supermicro X10SRH-CF for a start. I will order a Special SAS3/SAS2 conection cable and takew...

@i386 : Yes These were the Posts I was looking at also from 2015. So I guess the Drivers have matured by now and I should be fine...
