July 9, 201213 yr I'm looking to add one to my server because I just filled up the last SATA on my MB. Can someone tell me the difference between these two version? From what I read they are the same in description, one just costs $12 more: http://www.serversupply.com/CONTROLLERS/SAS-SATA/SERVERAID%20M1015/IBM/46M0861.htm and http://www.serversupply.com/CONTROLLERS/SAS-SATA/SERVERAID%20M1015/IBM/46M0831.htm The second one for $78 doesn't look too bad. Though I would need to buy a bracket. thanks, dave
July 9, 201213 yr Googling a little shows that 46M0831 is the option part, so it comes as an option with new servers, and 46M0861 is the replacement part-number, so it comes when the previous one got broken somehow. So, they are the same.
July 9, 201213 yr FYI, double check with Server Supply to make sure they come with a bracket. The brackets run about $15-$20 which can make an e-bay buy a better deal.
July 9, 201213 yr Author They specify no bracket, and for $90 I agree, Ebay may be a better choice. thanks for the help, dave
