Multiple raid/sas cards vs 1 + expander

Post Body

I have been thinking about when I built this server I bought one Broadcom 9500, one Broadcom 9500 and another different brand (it worked fine, so no issues). Would it not be better to just keep the 9500, but that into a x8 PCIe Gen 4.0 pcie and just buy one expander?

Would the expander use pci lanes? Is it expanders that does not need to be connected to the mobo?

If yes; is it an expander that is suggested to use with 9500 OR 9400?

I am asking cause 3 cards have made some space issues on the setup.
