June 15, 20251 yr Hi guys, running an old Supermicro X7SBE mainboard with two Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X boards for 2x 8x SATA devices.I would need to connect one more HBA for another 8x disks and as the mainboard has one unused PCI-E 4x and one PCI-E 8x, I was thinking of an additional LSI 9211-8i (IBM M1015, flashed) HBA or maybe a Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 (Marvell 6480 host controller)Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 (Marvell 9480 host controller)What would you recommend as the best option today for this setup? Running unRAID 6.12.10.Thanks a lot for any hints.
June 15, 20251 yr Author Researched the AOC-SASLP and SAS2LP and it looks like they do not work reliable, or at all...Looks like the LSI 9211-8i (PCIe x8) is still the best option today?Firmware P20 and running in IT-mode.
