January 3, 201412 yr Has anyone tried the LSI SAS 9201-8i? I see that the LSI SAS9201-16i is supported. The only difference I see is that it's only 2x4 instead of 4x4 SAS ports. I can't find much information on this device, even on LSI's site. The only info I found regarding this card is that - no cache, no BBU, possibly no NVRAM so IR mode may not work (IT only). They are going for $75 vs $100 for M1015/9211-8i that are coming from China (fakes?).
March 30, 201412 yr Slightly off topic but i have one of those "fake" $100 LSI SAS 9211-8i, does not seem fake to me as it's working great and i have 150mbytes parity check speeds with the controller flashed to latest IT firmware (initiator target, all the raid functions disabled)
