Question up front. Will I get in trouble if I reconnect spinning rust to different SATA ports?
Situation: I have finally acquired my first rack storage solution for my home lab (crowd overwhelming says “awwwwwww, that’s so cute”) and I am planning on moving my NAS box from a vertical PC fat box to a 4U rack mounted fat box. My new 4U box will hold 2x four bay drive cages (3.5" disks) for a total of 8x disks. I will be replacing a PCI SATA card adding more SATA ports to accommodate the additional disks (when I buy them).
After I get it all physically installed, am I going to have problems when the drives are connected to different SATA ports?
My hardware is probably 10 years old. I bought the components off FB Marketplace and TN is running like a champ! Thanks for making a great OS!
