So, now that I have some free time, I installed ESXi on my SuperMicro Whitebox server that has 2 built-in X540-T2 ports, and an add-in 4-port I350 PCI-E card (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G0LVSTA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1). I checked, and all 6 ports were recognized during install and startup of ESXi, so that is good news. Only 3 SATA ports were recognized, and after I installed sata-xahci, it still didn't work.

Do you have an idea of anything else I can try? My motherboard is a SuperMicro X10-DRI-T-O.

Update: I have found a card that should work, several people said it works for ESXi 6 and it's quite cheap. However, I don't think I will be needing it since I have found out that my drives aren't even being recognized in my BIOS, nor in my bootable Windows USB. There is some work to be done here, and ESXi is not at fault.

Update 2: I turned my SuperMicro server off for 30 seconds, then back on and all my hard drives are now recognized. I suspect that even without sata-xahci they would have been recognized, it was just a temporary hardware issue, not a software issue. My main computer does this sometimes too, nothing a power-cycle (30 seconds shut off then back on) won't fix.

So, seems like ESXi 6.0 supports my SuperMicro Whitebox out of the box.
