    Budget 0-20k SAS controller for my PC running Unraid

    Damn! Forget about SAS, your friend has 150TB :tearsofjoy:. those are some good tips. Basically, I'm using cache because transferring most used files like docker settings to cache makes the system put HDDs to sleep, which saves a lot of power. So my HDDs only spin up when I have to access my...

    Budget 0-20k SAS controller for my PC running Unraid

    Sounds good! I think i'll give it a try, also, Do I need to flash this myself to IT mode or is it already done? Also, looking on the internet I see that there are 2 different models, H200 and H200A, Is there any difference? And, will I have to do the customs clearance myself?

    Anyone using Homeassistant as an IoT platform?

    Budget 71-90K Anyone who's into building NAS server?

    yeah, either use a dock, though it would limit the speed, or you can look at m.2 to multi-port sata adapters, or m.2 to pcie adapter to sata adapter.
