Sorry to burst in, but I'm having some passthrough issues on a new server; the Dell r730xd has 14 HDD bays. I want to pass 8 of them to a TrueNAS VM on Proxmox, and use the other 6 bays for Proxmox - I'll prolly have to buy another SATA card so I can do this, right??? 

I know I can pass drives to a VM, but its 'better' to pass the entire RAID card to it for faster speeds... I think I could pass the Dells RAID to TrueNAS, add another SATA RAID card and connect IT to the remaining 6 bays???
