Good afternoon my fellow geeks, I have a question I'm creating a freeNAS Plex/File server with 12 hot swap drives, my question is I want to eventually increase my drive storage by getting a separate cabinet with additional drives but I don't understand how I can connect the two cases together using JB OD I would like to use a LSI 9211 8i HBA card to run my first 12 drives then I want to connect that same HBA to the second case to run additional drives in the near future, how can I accomplish this task? What do I need a long with the LSI 9211 8i card?
