flintlock1 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Hi There, I have just purchased a Dell Perc H310 8 port controller card, to replace my current Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 whilst in the process of upgrading. Is there anyone who could point me to a current I/T flashing guide, and firmware download links for flashing the H310 to prepare it for use with Unraid 6.1.3 please. I have available a PC with a Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC mobo to flash it, or i could flash it in my current Unraid mobo, a Gigabyte GA-870A-USB3L, (I will be upgrading my Unraid system to the GA-Z87-OC with a I7 4770K and 16gb Corsair ram,very soon, and will be using the Supermicro card as a secondary card with it too. I'm looking forward to trying VM's at last, lol). Many thanks. Quote Link to comment

It seems from what people have said, there is no performance loss or gain between the two, just that the Dell firmware is easier to flash. Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I used Dell's firmware mostly because the flash procedure is simpler, as a bonus the lack of bios makes reboots faster. I suspect performance will be similar with any of them, but as I can get 320MB/s+ with 8 SSDs on my test server it's more than enough for the fastest HDDs currently on the market.

Are you still using the Dell firmware? I've ordered an H310 so trying to figure out what/how to flash it. So far it seems the LSI flash has the benefit of being more up to date and supporting a bigger queue depth. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I'm using LSI firmware, not because I noticed any performance issues but because it's more up to date. See below for flashing help: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Crossflashing_Controllers Quote Link to comment
