Hi,
I'm doing a hardware upgrade on my server at home, and I'm planning to change the LSI 3008 on-board controller to a dedicated Adaptec ASR-71605. The LSI 3008 is used in IT mode, if I switch to the Adaptec controller, will it detect directly the hard drives as HBA and pass it through to the OS? I don't want to lose my data (there is a RAID6 but a mdraid one, managed by the OS). I've previously tested an Adaptec ASR-6405E and the controller had to convert the disk to raw to pass it through the OS, meaning that I would lose all the data on it.
Also, I have a mix of SATA and SAS drives, will it deal with these hard drives without any issue?
Thanks!
