I am planning to use a HBA or PLX card on an ASRock B450 motherboard. I have a U.2 P3700 and am possible to move one or more SAS3 SSDs from a 2U server to this build. Since they will become a Proxmox boot drive at first, the durance is more important than the writing speed. Of cause if I use a PLX card, I will buy 1 or more U.2 SSDs in the future.
(I got a m.2 to U.2 converter cable but failed to make the motherboard to find the U.2 drive after connecting them with SATA power. By the way, other drives will use the motherboard's SATA ports.)
Thank @andrewbedia 's new post on Broadcom PLX PEX cards here. You gave a new idea for NVME SSDs for any brand's motherboard.
Dear friends, will a 9400 series HBA card or PLX PEX card be better on a regular ASRock motherboard?
Thanks!
