1·5 months agoI honestly don’t know what would happen, but I wouldn’t try it. Hard disks are sensitive things.
The HBA can definitely handle hot swapping, but I’m pretty sure you need a backplane for it to work. If I remember correctly, it needs the capacitors on the backplane’s PCB to allow for the power drain. I’m not sure those cables alone will do.
I have this HBA in my homelab server and was surprised to find it has two SAS controller in it. I can’t remember exactly what I had to do to flash it, but I needed to flash both controllers using an EFI prompt so they became one controller. It took an afternoon of research, but I eventually flashed both of them to IT mode and it worked as expected. I’m pretty sure this thread helped me at the time:
Good luck!
This caught me. I had to restore my instance from backup yesterday after loading the app and it not working. I use the fdroid version and it won’t be updated for a while…
Remember, always backup you data, kids.
I’ve been using a Zidoo Z9X for streaming local media. Not cheap, but very powerful and has a huge amount of features. It’ll play just about anything you throw at it, all locally.

Yep. When I first set up my instance, I couldn’t believe how slow it was. I set up redis using the Nextcloud documentation and its like butter now.
Completely agree. It’s utterly addictive, and the further you get, more and more fun tech gets unlocked. Been playing it with some friends, and we’re all hooked.
