Just keep in mind that with pcie x1 slots, you'll be limited in data bandwidth. Assuming it's pcie 3.0, that means a max of ~8Gbps. Enough for 3 HDDs to run at their fastest speeds at once without bottlenecking. Adding more than that will just mean the drives will have to share the bandwidth.
I'm using Truenas, so an HBA flashed to IT mode is the recommended setup in my case. I bought mine (flashed to IT mode) from this seller on ebay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_dkr=1&i...1&_nkw=hba
