I'm looking at getting the SuperChassis 826BE1C-R609JBOD and I'm struggling to figure out what LSI card to get for it.

This will be going into an ROMED8-2T (PCIe 4.0 x16) running TrueNAS SCALE.

If I get an 8 port HBA does that mean only 8 drives would be seen, and I would need a 2nd card for all 12 drives?

I'm also open to changing what JBOD I use, just needs to be at least 12 bay, and not that loud.

This chassis comes with an expander backplane, unless you have other plans for direct connecting drives, so pretty much any of the 12Gbps external 8-port cards will work fine. The backplane itself has expander ports for daisy chaining more storage if that is also something you are looking at :)
