    I don't know of any 16i based on the SAS2308 chipset, there is a 16e, the 9206-16e, there are SAS3008 based 16i HBAs, but these are SAS3 so more expensive.

     

    Are you aware of any downsides of connecting 16 HDDs to a single card compared to 8 only?

    If you are talking about the 9201-16i they are IT mode only cards so they are plug and play with unRAID.  I have many I replaced most of my 8i with them because I can use fewer slots for HBAs allowing me to use other PCIe cards.  I just plugged them in connected the drives/backplanes to them and booted unRAID and had a working system.
