razor Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 I'm looking at purchasing a server that comes with the LSI 9261-8i card. Does anyone know if this card is supported in unraid 6+? Thanks! Link to comment
bobkart Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 Hi razor, welcome to the forums. While I can't address whether that specific card is supported by unRAID, I can offer this. Apologies if you already know these things. The card in question is a RAID card. But of course you won't be using the RAID capabilities in unRAID. So in that sense it's overkill. I understand though: the server you're considering comes with the card. You're not so much deciding to buy the card as you are the whole server. Options I would consider if I were in your position - see if the seller will drop the price an acceptable amount for leaving the card out of the package - take your chances on the card (might need to flash it to IT mode) - sell the card and buy a much less expensive card, that's known to work with unRAID (LSI 9211-8i for example) I can usually get those 9211 cards for around $100 on eBay. Even new they're not much more than $200, versus $500 for that MegaRAID card. Link to comment
