Hello I need help finding a correct HBA or M.2 sata expansion controller, I've purchased three types and each had their problems. I've purchased the SilverStone ECS07 M.2 sata expander and a M.2 to sata 3.0 adapter using the ASM1166 controller, they both were detected on my BIOS interface and the drives were detected as well in proxmox but when it is plugged in it turns off the Ethernet connection. I've returned both of those and decided to purchase a LSI HBA card 9207-8i, I plugged it into the second pcie slot and it was not detected on proxmox using the lspci command and dmidecode command, I then switched it to the pcie slot where my graphics card was plugged in and it was still undetectable and it disabled my Ethernet connection. I am trying to figure out what is the most reliable HBA card or M.2 sata expander so I can connect my HDDs and SSDs.

- Intel i5-12400
