dalben Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 A quick that must probably has been answered before but my search fu isn't working today. Due to a catastrophic mobo error, I have to quickly replace my board and get my server up again quickly. The board that's arriving is an ASUS TUF B365M-Plus Gaming. After recently upgrading to 18Tb disks I can use the 6 onboard SATA + 2xM.2 with ports to spare. I also have an LSI 9211-i8 controller that's in the current dead server and a recently purchased 2nd hand Dell HBA, which is an LSI 9207-i8. What's going to give me the best performance, all on the onboard SATA, or on an LSI running on the x4 PCIe slot? Would using the x16 slot make a difference? If we're talking miniscule differences I might go the LSA simply because the cabling will be neater. Any advice would be most welcome. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 9211 could limit performance a little in an x4 slot with 6 fast disks, other 2 options will be the same. 1 Quote Link to comment
