Hello,
I am in the process of buying parts for a new FreeNAS build. I will be using the IBM M1015 card in IT mode as an HBA. My case is a standard server case meaning I will need the SAS to 4 SATA cables for this card in order to plug in my disks. Can someone perhaps link me to the correct cable to use? Also, is there a number scheme or something on the cables so that I know the order of the disks? Will make it easier to replace a failed drive in the future. Here is the parts I plan to use for my build..let me know if you see any glaring problems:
Intel Core i3-2100 Dual-Core Processor 3.1 GHz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155 - BX80623I32100
SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCL-O LGA 1155 Intel C202 Micro ATX Intel Xeon E3 Server Motherboard
(2) Kingston Technology ValueRAM 8GB Kit (2x4GB) DDR3 1333 MHz DIMM Desktop Server Memory KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G
IBM M1015 HBA in IT mode
PNY 4GB USB Drive for boot volume
6 x 2TB Hitachi Deskstar SATA disks (RAIDZ1 I think)
Thanks for all the help in advance!
