the front backplane - and 2 2.5" on the rear. But all are managed by the Per 730 Mini... I may buy another HBA/RAID card; but I'm playing around with how pass bays to TrueNAS SCALE on the hardware level. I normally pass the entire

Supposedly it's no good to mix RAIDs.. You should either let the card do its own array thing like it would normally do, or replace/remove it entirely. The latter option might be better if you're _actually_ worried about the data and want to be able to put the drives into other systems. If you're just messin' around tho, who cares :).

No, this will be in production as a very important NAS.

But... are you stating that its not suggested to leave the Perc 730 Mini as the front 12 drive bays card and adding a second complete HBA to control the other 'rail' - the other SAS/SATA port??

I'll research before, for sure. While I would prefer to pass the HBA completely to a TrueNAS VM, I won't lose TOO MUCH i/o if I just pass individual drives to the TrueNAS VM w/o PCI pasthrough.

I want to do it the right way, so I appreciate you mentioning this. I could also take the rear 2 2.5" bays off the Perc 730 and just use the physical SATA connections on the mobo for them... decisions decisions...
