August 13, 201114 yr Came across this on ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lot-10-New-HP-E200-8-Port-SAS-SATA-Raids-64Mb-405536-/280723101566?pt=COMP_EN_Networking_Components&hash=item415c66977e#ht_1728wt_1139 Its for 10qty HP E200 8 port sas/sata card,$130 +shipping (v expensive $75) (if im reading it right?) works out at just over $20 per 8port sata card? appears to be very cheap, did a quick search on the forum on the model and their is some talk /questions if it works, but it wasnt answered, hence possibly a good deal if it works!
August 13, 201114 yr HP's page for the E200 card -- http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/arraycontrollers/smartarraye200/index.html And here is the list of drivers and firmware from HP -- http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodNameId=3182562&taskId=135&prodTypeId=329290&prodSeriesId=1157688〈=en&cc=us Entry Level Performance 8 internal ports of 3Gb Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) x4 PCI-Express I/O connector DDR-1/266 memory 128MB Battery-Backed Write Cache (BBWC) upgrade option Reliable Standard RAID 0,1, 1+0 RAID 5 support with BBWC Flexible Supports SAS and SATA disk drives Manageable Online Drive Flash Remote monitoring and configuration Mirror Splitting and recombining
August 14, 201114 yr I tried an HP P212, but unRAID did not load a driver for it. I'm not sure if the E200 would be the same, but HP seems to have their own driver set that is not included in unRAID.
August 14, 201114 yr Stay away from the E200. Its is quite a slow card. Its also ENORMOUS! When you say slow, do you mean even when used in normal SATA ports or do you mean when used for RAID-5 type operations?

When you say slow, do you mean even when used in normal SATA ports or do you mean when used for RAID-5 type operations? I was using it in RAID 1+0 with four Samsung F3 1TB drives. I have not used it just as a SATA card for something like unRAID.
