Considerations when buying an LSI HBA?

2026-08-04 00:59 UTC

Hi everyone I’m looking to expand my storage. I have a case capable of 8 bays and I don’t think I’ll exceed that soon (currently at 3 drives). I bought a m.2 slot with a bunch of sata ports on it but it doesn’t work. I’ve researched and read an HBA is a much better solution anyway. If I’m going to get the HBA I might as well run all 8 ports on it. Aside from the clearance on the card in the case, are there any other considerations I need to he aware of? I justbeant to get something that works from the get go. For my uses I have a good amount of apps and I stream media from the server CPU- i5-10400f 2.90ghz MOBO - asrock h570m-itx/ac RAM - gskill f4-3200c16-8gvkb GPU - Quadro k620 (gm107gl) rev a2 CASE - Jonsbo N3

    I have mine running in a consumer case and, despite it having a heat sink, I found it was overheating and turning off. Consider your airflow and put a fan near or on it if possible
