IBM M1015 SAS/SATA Controller - Best Deals on eBay

Featured Replies

Thanks bjp, I've been meaning to pick one up to switch out with one of my BR10i's. Figured I'd buy one now since I should be switching over to 3TB drives with my next drive purchase.

Someone has bid on it, so if there was once Buy It Now it is gone now.

Yep.  Hopefully one of "us" (drealit, did you buy it?).  Have been keeping my eyes open for a good deal on one of these.  He listed two - I bought the other one.

 

$80 shipped is a good deal IMO.  There is a seller with 5 of them for $90 shipped, but no bracket.  Someone could try a "Best offer" to get it cheaper.

Heh yes indeed, I snagged it right before I placed my reply.

Sold...

 

I think this will end up in my ESXi box... Now to find an expander.

You guys got a good great deal! (hopefully with brackets).

My freshly flashed M1015 has now been successfully assimilated into my unRaid VM (ESXi). So far I can see nothing wrong with this card, I wish I had 2x 3TB drives to test on it right now.

Bracket Questionable.. it is pictured with one.

 

Not that it's a guarantee but he does say "1 x ServeRAID M1015 8-port SAS/SATA RAID PCI Express Controller with full-height Bracket".

I've made some of my most interesting purchases just before the sky went purple.

 

("interesting" meaning "what was I thinking?")

So you want the high bracket or no? I am planning on using it in a Norco 4220 case.

Aren't these the same cards listed in Raj's post in the Hard Drives and Controllers section?  If so, his recommend supplier has these cards for $45-$60 depending on version.

 

I haven't bought one yet, but that is my intended source.

They're not the same cards...

 

Raj's post referes to the IBM BR10i which is SATA II, & DOES NOT support 3TB drives.

 

The IBM M1015 is SATA III, & DOES support 3 TB drives.

 

Pretty sure I got that right...  :P:)

Close enough.
