R720 Software RAID, Remove RAID controller?
Hey all, still learning everything going on but i have a dell poweredge R720 with the raid controller flashed for IT mode to pass the drives through to the OS directly as i am running TrueNas Core, i was wondering if there is a cable that goes from the backplane to motherboard directly to bypass the RAID controller entirely?
Currently running sata drives but would like to eventually move to SAS or SSDs

Connecting backplane to the motherboard without PERC controller is only supported on R720 with x4 Backplane. It only support SATA drives. You can refer below link for details
