January 31, 201214 yr So after 4 weeks and reading literally hundreds of posts i just can't find an answer. Is there an 8 port card that will work with s3???
February 1, 201214 yr S3 depends on the motherboard and SATA cards playing nice with each other. I believe the standard Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 card will work with S3 on certain motherboards, but not all. Your best bet is to find someone who has a working S3 build and copy their build exactly. I've found the demand for S3 to be pretty low since unRAID already spins down idle drives to save power, so I don't bother testing it in my designs. Sorry I can't offer any more specific advice.
February 1, 201214 yr Author Thanks for the reply raj. My setup uses the s3 to do other things than just sleep the unraid. I've used the process in my home cinema automation process. My remote pings the unraid and depending on the response does various tasks. So maintaining the s3 would be the best outcome without having to reprogram my remote/home automation system. I might just buy one of the supermicro cards and see what happens worst outcome it goes back and I build a second box.
