I've been hoarding since 2004. I originally had multiple PCs with every sata slot filled before I got a used dell server. I immediately fell in love with sas drives. My current build is 80TB with 61TB stored.

I'm needing to drastically reduce my footprint and power consumption. I'm making a truenas build on a b550 and ryzen 7 5700. I think I can continue with my sas drives with a PCI HBA. That's where I'm stuck.

Im thinking all I need is a PCI HBA in IT mode, an enclosure, and some cables that connect the sas to the HBA.

Any tips? Im trying not to go back to sata just for the cost of drives
