April 23, 20233 yr Will be using it with some normal hard drives(WD Red Pros) not SSDs. There's about an $80 difference on eBay from what I see (already flashed in IT mode). Which should I go with? Also, I keep reading about heat and seeing people rig a 40mm fan directly on it. If performance is the same, meaning given I'm only using spinners...is there a difference in heat? If there is a concern about heat, should I attempt to attach a 40mm fan or find some type of bracket. I have no idea what type of bracket either. Thanks.
April 23, 20233 yr Performance in that case will be the same, 9207 runs a little hotter, but as long as there's some airflow around it it's fine.
April 24, 20233 yr Description and pictures for active cooling. Keeps the cards about room temp. https://hardforum.com/threads/cooling-suggestions-for-lsi-sas-card-lsi-9207-8i.1957715/
