i am looking for a SATA controller for my Microserver Gen8..
all document i searched talking about HP raid controller only. i believe there will be a SATA controller available.
i'm considering to purchase SATA controller using asm1061. i read an article from @WeeboTech, he looks using one of asm1061.
my question is whether this chipset is the best choice and whether server can be boot up from asm1061 attached SSD..
many thanks in advance!!
I'm not using the AMS1061 on the GEN8, I'm using that on the Gen 7 N54L with success in ESX 5.1
