JorgeB Posted December 13, 2020 Share Posted December 13, 2020 Yes if they are SSDs, since that HBA won't be able to trim them. Quote Link to comment
Paul_Ber Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 I am trying to cancel my order as the 9207 was PCIe 3.0 and my Asus M5A97 R2.0 MB is PCIe 2.0. Get a 9211 instead that is PCIe 2.0 and won't get as hot as 9207. https://www.ebay.com/itm/162834659601 Quote Link to comment
