It was anecdotal , but I did run crystal diskmark in a vm on both and the HP was noticeably slower. A better question then maybe is what do you guys recommend instead of either? They are WD Green 1TBs. Thanks so much!!!
I bought the card below and was using it fine. I replaced it with an HP H240 HBA and am using it now but feel like it is slower. Both cards are connected to 6 x 1tb ssds. Which one is actually faster? Still learning and appreciate responses.
The one I have now: (6x sata to 6x sata)

The HP H240 (2x sas to 6x sata)

Thanks!
I have a Dell Precision T7610 for my primary unraid server. There is some quirk in the bios that I cannot solve. If I boot legacy then it tells me no boot drive exists. If I boot from UEFI it tells me the same but lets me continue and boots from the USB just fine. The problem is not unraid. I bricked a motherboard with some help from the dell forums and I am not taking any chances with any more attempts to solve this. It is definately the Dell BIOS but there are no new updates for that machines.
How can I boot from an SSD as a test? The unraid tool only will select USB Drives. I will to put a copy of unraid on an SSD and plug it in the the MB stat ports and see if Legacy or UEFI will boot fine and not require me to touch the keyboard each time. I want this machine to run truly headless.
Thanks again,

Cant get it to work and just gave up. the VMs on unraid will be ones that dont the GPU. I purchased a separate machine for video/audio processing and will use the GPU there. Just no good tutorials on here to make this work and I am too frustrated. SimonF, thanks for taking the time at least to respond, I really appreciate it.
I have to boot UEFI on the machine, Dell T7610. If I don't no boot device is found. I am going to try moving unraid to a small 120gb ssd and see if that lets me boot into legacy. Is that the issue?
