@@ -202,4 +202,26 @@ So three (3) LSI cards and 6 RES240 cards = 120 ports. We are there.
Even better the RES240 cards do not actually need to plug into the motherboard, they just need power and are fitted with an external power socket!!!
- This is an amazing win.

It is brilliant what could go wrong!
As it turns out ... there is always something!
When I added an additional 14, the SAS controller only showed 24, but 14 + 14 = 28
It turns out SAS controller cards do not have an unlimited number ports, they can only service 24 drives per card! Some mention 16 , some 32, all the ones I bought that touted different numbers, the upper limit was always 24.
The best we can do with 3 controllers is then 72 drives ( 1 RES240 card + other physical port to 4 drives ).
Close but not yet 120 drives - ARG!!!!!
