Got a few more,

are you located in canada, will you ship to US? never mind, I wanted to use this with VMWare, but there is limited support for it.

Well since I sent my second PM to you (which I never got an invoice for) I have purchased 2x$70 each (no bracket) 1x$82 each (bracket) 1x$90 each (no bracket) (from the seller I gave a link to, since they still had some left) 1x$86 each (bracket) off of ebay from various sellers, they all contacted me within 24 hours with tracking info, and all my cards were shipped to me in less than 7 days after payment. as for you no newbie issue, its a free'ish country but it is just bad business sense. And if you check ebay you can find a good deal on these cards, see my list above if more info (I list total prices so if there was a shipping charge it is included in the price above) I don't even use unRAID anymore, and gave my setup (minus drives) to a friend. Ubuntu + ZFS can go a long way, faster, more reduncany, more programs (torrents, streamer, encoders, try running handbreak on unRAID), and the cost less than $200 to build my rig (minus drives). I was mainly looking for the M1015 to replace my older ServeRAID-BR10i, that can't support my new 4TB hard drives. current rig Motherboard - Intel S5500BC 1366 LGA Ram - 16 GB ECC (4x4GB) 4 slots free CPU - Xeon 5520 (quad core) PSU -750 watt silencer RAID -M1015 + HP SAS Expander (24 internal + 4 external) I hope that fee includes one day shipping, otherwise hit ebay folks, I got ever one of my cards in a 3-6 day time span from the day I paid for it. Thanks for the link! Seanant, please cancel my order. More than a week and still no communication means that I take my business elsewhere. ~Spritz I ordered from the above link @7am this morning, and I just received shipping notice @215pm.

3 Cards Left, if you have a trade PM me and I will consider it.

check your paypal account, if the label was printed using there service there should be a tracking number attached. If not try contacting the seller, if that fails open a case with paypal.

here is a ebay link, no bracket, but for $90 its a good deal http://www.ebay.com/itm/IBM-ServeRAID-M1015-LSI-SAS9220-8i-PCI-E-SAS-SATA-46C8933-Half-Height-Low-Pro-/400526670424?pt=US_Server_Disk_Controllers_RAID_Cards&hash=item5d413ffa58

ditto, I got 2 off of ebay for $140, or $70 each, no bracket though, turns out that brackets from intel pro 1000 pcix cards fit these just fine

requesting one card, sent PM

I have for sale or trade 5 IBM ServeRAID-BR10i PCI-e 8 Port Controller Sata SAS 44E8690 LSI SAS1068e, these cards are based on LSI SAS1068e chip set and can be flashed to IT (HBA) or IR (RAID) firmware, the only issue with this card is the hard drive limit of 2TB, larger drives are seen but only at 2.2TB, I am currently using 3 cards with a ZFS system and I have installed 2 others in a friends unRAID system. Units are missing brackets but work fine. -PM me for any questions, -Asking $35 per Card + $5 Shipping (USA Shipping only) or Best offer, or Trade I also need hard drives of any size for backup usage, they need to be sata and have good SMART data and surface scan, these drives are for backups only so size does not really matter, but I want about 1.5TB of storage per card for trading, (example 3x500GB drives, or 9x160GB drives as long as they are good and SATA based i will take them) Description: The ServeRAID-BR10i controller PCI Express interface is compliant with the PCI Express Specification, revision 1.0a. The controller uses either a standard PCI or low-profile PCI bracket type. The controller SAS interface is compatible with the ANSI Serial Attached SCSI 1.0 specification and the Serial ATA 1.0a specification. The functionality of the ServeRAID-BR10i controller comes from the LSI1068E controller chip. The LSI1068E chip integrates eight high-performance SAS/SATA PHYs. The design of the controller makes it easy to add SAS interfaces to any computer, workstation, or server with a PCI Express bus. The controller provides a 2 Mb x 8-bit flash ROM for storing the BIOS and firmware. The controller provides up to 32 Kb x 8-bit NVSRAM for storing the nonvolatile RAID information when a system failure occurs. The controller provides a 128 Kb x 36-bit pipelined burst static random access memory (PBSRAM) device for storing SAS address port information, which enables connection to more than 128 devices. Storage Controller Controller interface type Serial ATA-300 / SAS Data Transfer Rate 300 MBps Storage Controller / Supported Device Type Disk array (RAID) RAID level RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E Processor LSI General Device Type Storage controller (RAID) - Plug-in card - Low profile Interface Type PCI Express Width 6.6 in Depth 0.6 in Height 2.7 in Weight 3.2 oz Expansion / Connectivity Expansion Bays None Expansion Slot(s) None Interfaces 2 x Storage ( Internal ) Connections None Compatible Bays None Compatible Slots 1 x PCI Express Miscellaneous Compliant Standards UL, TUV, VDE,

Yes, Though it was not very hard, Since I took this picture it is now upto 12 hard drives (11x1.5 TB + 750 GB), I setup a mini radio station that broad cast on 87.50 fm, with remote control for android phone (XBMC) so i can select what music(and video) is playing, I now have all my torrents running off this box, and it has all my classic games on it (NES, SNES, N64, + others), I have removed the AMD II 6000+ processor, and placed a semprom in it instead clocked at 2.2 GHz, my current power consumption is at 180 watts active, 95 watts with the drives spun down. The only real disadvantage I have with this over my unRAID setup is the fact that I cant mix drives anymore. Which is not really a problem since I sold off most of my smaller 250-500 GB HD, and I took all my 1 TB and setup a array on my person PC. And for anyone wondering it takes 22 hours for me to grow my array when adding a disk, and I can still use my network storage during that time, rebuilding (due to lost disk) I do not know yet. With the new 3 TB disk being under $150 on sale its just a matter of time until I upgrade again.

Well this is my rig, originally it was built in this 16 drive server, but the motherboard went, and I found that the power supply is too loud, if some one wants to buy this case off me, make an offer, its just collecting dust now. The OS is not unRAID like my last build but Mint Linux using Webmin and mdadm for raid. + XBMC for HD playback, the setup uses 4 120mm fans at low RMP so it is almost whisper quilt, ( I Have to turn off my ac to hear it) Local READ/WRITE Network READ/WRITE MY new rig. uses 6x1.5 TB + 750 GB hard drive, I am waiting for 2 more 1.5 TB hd that I rma due to the fact they failed my drive testing close up on the drives note the custom power cable I made, also there are 2 rear mount 120 mm fans, and 2 front mount 120 mm fans (not in picture) -The case is an old speaker box with a 2 blown speakers in it, It can hold 22 Hard drives and only cost me $20 to build (including the speaker box) Full picture And heres a picture of my external drive cooler, which cost $7 to build
