June 30, 201115 yr Hey folks... I've got six ports on my SUPERMICRO X8SIL-F-O board, and I'm about to need more. I'm planning to go up to 20 drives in my Antec 1200... Is the SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 really the best board for me to get? I'd like to minimize power consumption as much as reasonably possible, but I'd like to get 8 ports. (And I'd like a solution that is not going to give me problems with 3TB+ drives) Newegg doesn't exactly have the best review rating for this card. But there aren't a lot of PCIe 8 port cards mentioned in the Unraid HW compatibility list. Thanks

OMG thanks - I did look in this board for SATA board posts and completely missed the other board. Duh. I found the BR10i thread separately by google. Thanks for taking the time to reply to my OT message
July 6, 201114 yr The SASLP cards are supposed to support 3 TB drives as well, though the BR10i is also a good choice (just more expensive).
