In0cenT Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 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 Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) I've bought hp H220 cards from 2 different vendors and they worked out of the box. Edited March 11, 2017 by 1812 Quote Link to comment

shanehm2 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Where abouts did you find the HP cards ? And by out of the box do you mean they will work without flashing Quote Link to comment
1812 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 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.
