March 11, 20179 yr Hello guys I'm looking for a out of the box working sata card. Cards I was looking at but not sure if they do work "out of the box": HP 220 (8x SATA): 90$ Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 8i (8x SATA): 50$ Briked two H310 so I dont want to bother any longer... Thanks
March 11, 20179 yr I've bought hp H220 cards from 2 different vendors and they worked out of the box. Edited March 11, 20179 yr by 1812

March 12, 20179 yr Where abouts did you find the HP cards ? And by out of the box do you mean they will work without flashing
March 12, 20179 yr Bought off ebay. "out of the box" meaning I look them out of their box, put them in the server, and they did their thing. I've never hit the bottleneck on them moving data on/around the server except for one caveat listed below, and that deals with only SATA drives only connecting at 3Gbps. For most people/scenarios using unRaid, this won' matter much since they will be limited by gigabit lan speeds anyways. H220 manual with specs: https://media.dustin.eu/media/206041/h220-host-bus-adapter.pdf Technical Specs: 6 Gbps SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 3 Gbps SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) <---- this may be important if you are planning on maxing single SSD speeds.
