Remove PCIe RAID Controller and Use OnBoard MiniSAS?
I have a DL360e with a PCIe P410 Raid Controller. Since I will be installing FreeNAS, and ideally would want to add two NVMe SSDs to the both PCIe slots, I would like to remove the P410 RAID controller card.
However, I can see that from the 8 bay SDD hard drive cage run two Mini SAS (SFF-8087) cables to each of the Mini SAS ports on the P410 card. On the motherboard there is only one Mini SAS connector.
Can I remove the P410 and still use all 8 bays of the drive cage? If yes, how can I connect the two cables into the one Mini SAS port? Will a cable like this help me?
(1 )33-inch (850 mm) mini-SAS Y cable with clip

The one that is contained in the Mini SAS cable kit Spare Part Number: 754375-001
Any suggestions how to solve this are most welcomed!

Re: Remove PCIe RAID Controller and Use OnBoard MiniSAS?
The on-board mini SAS connector is a 4-port connector. You can use one of the cables from the P410 controller to connect only 4 of the eight disks in the disk cage.
