ASRock D-1541_2T8R, wish it was 208R.
Have an optiplex sff i5-11500.
I wish to eventually have 2x Rosewill 4500U 15 bay 4u rackmount chassis.
I wish for the i5-11500 to be transcoding the plex pool in it's rosewill chassis.
My asrock D-1541 has onboard LSI3008, do I just need like an HP 24 port SAS HBA Controller like the HP 468406-B21 HP 3GB 24BAY SAS EXPANDER CARD
Or will those 2 miniSAS from LSI3008 not give me the full bandwidth?
Would it be better to get a LSI9308-16I ? and have it connected to the HBA on the i5-11500?
Or will my LSI3008 suffice for up to 15 drives in a rosewill4500, but if I am going to have 2x Rosewill 4500, might as well use the LSI9308-16I to make full use of ports on the plex pool and then use the onboard LSI3008 with same case drives?
I am hoping I can use the PCIE4.0X16or 3.0x16 onboard the optiplex 7090 sff for the 24 port HBA for now, but eventually grab a better board for a workstation/server so I can add 10gb etc
If there are more cost effective way to do this if it is even possible please advise!!
Thanks for read and help!
