Bob B Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Hello, I'm on day 8 of my trial, so far have 8 drives connected to my raid m1115 connected and have no more room on the card. I also have 6 SATA ports on my motherboard, can I use those as well to connect more drives without creating a disaster? Just was wondering so I can avoid buying extra raid cards. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment

No problem at all, just make sure they're set to AHCI, IDE works but it's not recommended. Quote Link to comment
Bob B Posted November 16, 2017 Author Share Posted November 16, 2017 That sounds great! I already changed the sata ports from raid mode to ahci and plugged in a test drive. The drive did show up in unraid when I started the server, I just didn't want to add it to the array in case it is bad practice or just will cause problems down the road. I don't feel like rebuilding over 60tb of data Thanks again for the quick response Quote Link to comment
