I know the ryzen cpu does but I guess it's a gamble on if it is going to work. Just be aware that ZFS on top of RAID does not play nice! If you go ZFS, put your controllers in IT mode and let ZFS handle it all in software.īut I am not 100% sure that my mobo supports the pcie pass through.


It's odd, I just had to do exactly what you wanted today, for a single disk - I'm waiting on a new SFF8087 to SATA cable, so temporarily passed a drive through from the motherboard controller, while the rest were on half of a SAS card.īut for the most part, it is indeed better to set up the physical disks on the hypervisor, and allocate virtual ones to your VMs. You can, as already mentioned - but it might be better to pass through the whole controller if you must use FreeNAS, unless you have non NAS disks on the same controller?
