October 19, 201213 yr I have my supermicro motherboard, that has 5 pic-x slots, and was looking at getting one or more of these series raid cards... does anyone know if they work well? or support the S.M.A.R.T. passthrough? I have 2 of the 3Ware 9550SXU cards, and they dont... Anyways, just looking for some info before i go ahead and buy a couple... Thanks in advance. TheStapler
October 19, 201213 yr I have a Supermicro with PCI-X slots with Supermicro adaptors and everything works fine.
October 19, 201213 yr As dgaschk said I would recommend these cards they worked in my X7SBE when that was my unRAID server.

TheStapler The 9550 cards "should" support SMART pass through, you have to run smartctl -d 3ware or use the twcli utility. I forget it's been so long. I don't think it supports the smart temperature on the unRAID interface, but I know you can get smart out of a 3ware controller. We've done it with much older controllers. on my X7SBE I use the supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 with great results. Highly recommended. I think simpler is better for the data drives. I might use the 3ware card for RAID0 parity or RAID1 cache if I had the extra slots and required the extra performance. In the end I went with the ARC-1200 for PARITY/CACHE.
