Hi, I'm looking at getting a H200 6Gb PCI-e SAS SATA 8-Port Raid Controller in IT Mode for FreeNAS. It fits into a PCIe x8 slot running at PCIe x8 2.0. My motherboard only has a free slot that's PCIe x8 but only at PCIe x4 2.0 speed. Will this slot affect transfer speeds if I also have SSD cache drives? I only have a 1 GB/s network but plan on upgrading my network to 2.5 GB/s or 5GB/s in the near future. Thanks!
