Drives are hot-swappable with this HBA, right?

Will give this a go! thanks!

One of the drives for reference:

Ok. Fair enough.

I’m still working on the first 2, but on the 3rd, yes there are a couple drives that are up and working on the card. 2x 8tb drives (also HGST).

They are SAS drives, not sata. Mobo does have SATA, but not SAS.

I do!

Thanks for the link!

Yah. Trying to make an Uber server.

Bunch of drives for a nas vm

3060 for a bit of a gaming pc cam for things like moonlight.

Rx590 is for a hackintosh vm to make local backups of my iCloud stuff.

And a unix vm to manage docker containers.

Also plan to put Plex in a LXC (I think that’s the term) on Proxmox so it can hardware decode using the igpu.

Welp. Seems I’m an idiot. I’m very much a Unix noob so assumed it was something that Unix I didn’t understand rather than check the physical card again.

I was definitely shipped an nvidia card, not the amd I bid on! So case opened with eBay!

Sorry for the dumb question. Thanks for the great help.

Stay tuned for my next dumb question. :)

How do you do this? Idk what to even google, exactly.

So in the end, the intel 1g NIC just worked, so I gave up for now on trying to get the 2.5g Broadcom working instead.

I might try to link aggregate later and use the 2.5g Broadcom and circle back on this… but we’ll see.

I also got the second GPU installed and it shows up, too. But it’s an Rx590 and is showing as an RTX2070… so I’ll be making another post shortly!

Thanks for all the input!
