12Gbps SAS controller card


Recommended Posts

Hello mates

I have previously played around with Unraid on 2players 1PC -style setup. I have been running bare metal for a while, since things went sideways with previous player two. I have been thinking new Unraid for a while, but now I managed to snag some SAS SSDs, 3.84TB for ~50$ each, total of 8 drives. 

Mentioned here are couple of SAS controllers recommended. Does anyone happen to have personal experience with LSI 9300-8i for example? Do they work plug and play in unraid?

Well I guess this settles it quite well. Thanks  @JorgeB

Are there any gimmics or tricks I should know? Since this is not a raid card, I should see drives just as they were connected to mobo, correct?

This said 9300 should work with Windows 10 as well, if I decide not to go unraid I guess.

Not really, just check that is running latest firmware.

Yes to both.
