KeithAbbott Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Any feedback on using the LSI 9211-8i in an unraid setup? Pros/cons? With 20% off at Newegg, it would bring the price down to $200... Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'm not sure if it has been tested yet. Any particular reason you want it? It costs twice as much as the Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 card and offers no real benefits. SATAIII bandwidth won't benefit today's hard drives in any way. Quote Link to comment
KeithAbbott Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Primary reason was futureproofing. Quote Link to comment
cj0r Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 No such thing as future proofing there will be something better by then at this price. Quote Link to comment

It supports 256 drives via SAS expanders, theoretically with 10 unraid VMs that's a lot of future proofing Quote Link to comment
