So i am looking to pickup a 730 8x3.5" w/ 2x2.5" in the rear. The device comes wih a perc h730. i am looking to run proxmox or esx (currently on esx on first server) with a virtual Truenas passing through the front 8 drives.
i can’t find a “current” definitive answer on if the H730 can plainly pass through the drives in HBA mode. If it can’t, ill just use it to raid the 2 rear.
But, and here is my question. if i put a LSI 3008 card (8 port, 2 cables) in does the backplane use standard sata connectors that will work with SFF-8643 cables? i assume the current cables from the backplane going to the motherboard are proprietary, And wondering if the same is for the backplane. or maybe i am completely wrong and my setup would work

Mine is the same and I run truenas with all drives software raided. I switched on hba and everything worked as it should. I was even able to use a mixture of ssd and sas drives after I switched to hba.
