ReCoN Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 I cant find the Sumpermicro X9SCM-F-O availible in the UK, I have also tried the X9SCL-F-O. Would the X9SCA-F be suitible? if not is there something else similar that is readily availible in the uk?
WeeboTech Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Should be fine. Just for reference a PCIe X4 is capable of 1000MB/s in one direction. By today's drive standards of 120-130MB/s on the outer tracks, an X4 slot can support 8 drives easily. http://www.directron.com/expressguide.html
ReCoN Posted December 30, 2011 Author Posted December 30, 2011 Thank you, that was the issue I was concerned with. I did run a comparison on the supermicro site between the 2, I just wanted to check here.
c234rmf Posted December 31, 2011 Posted December 31, 2011 MBD-X9SCL+-F is another option. It only has 3 slots also but it has 2x "standar" intel ethernet cards
