I am getting a Proliant DL560 Gen8 server today, and it's got a P420i, which I understand does not play well with unraid, so the guidance is to disable it. Doing this also effectively removes my 2GB raid cache card from the system as well, right? So my question is, can unraid provide the same performance in HBA mode as other hypervisors can that don't require the hardware raid system to be disabled? I can tolerate a small performance penalty, but obviously I don't want to have any.
