I'm doing a custom build for a VMware server. I wanted to put in an i9 and use a
MSI Pro Series Intel X299 LGA 2066 DDR4 USB 3.1 SLI ATX Motherboard. I am going to put in a NIC that is listed here and says it is compatible with ESXi. I'm wondering if the SATA drivers are compatible and if I'm going to have any installation issues. Links for the parts I mentioned are below. Any help is greatly appreciated.
