I'm sure this is a dumb question but I have a supermicro x11ssh -ln4f mobo and a LSI 9207 4i4e and I want to add an Intel RES2SV240NC expander to the case. However all I am seeing is that it is an x4 sized card and all I have is a x16 and x8 available. Can I put it in an x8 slot? will it stay in there? or is there a different expander that will use an x8 slot that is around the same price used? or should I just say screw it and ditch the 4i4e for an 8i? I dont currently have plans for external connectivity so I guess going 8i would be a better option. I only really need to add 3 more drives to fully saturate the case lol so the 8i would be the more reasonable solution. I am open to any and all suggestions.
Thanks!
