francrouge Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Hi all I'm looking write now to buy a sata pci card. This card fit my budget SYBA SI-PEX40108 4 Port SATA III PCI-e 2.0 x1 Card. But i want to know if its compatible with unraid or i'm going to have problem ? link newegg thx all
JorgeB Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 It's compatible, though it's Marvell so there will likely be issues with VT-d enable. You can get an used 8 port LSI controller for that price, that would be my choice every time.
francrouge Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 cool thx do you have any recommendation or site to buy it ? thx
JorgeB Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Any LSI with a SAS2008/2308/3008 chipset in IT mode, e.g., 9201-8i, 9211-8i, 9207-8i, 9300-8i, etc and clones, like the Dell H200/H310 and IBM M1015, these latter ones need to be crossflashed. Though I don't use it any longer ebay is probably the best place to find them.

I don't need VT-d thx
JorgeB Posted February 2, 2018 Posted February 2, 2018 Are you using all the x16 PCIe slots? It will work on one of those, though one of the top two would be preferable.
francrouge Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 My x16 are all empty nothing is plugged right now. So would an lsi card fit you think ? thx
francrouge Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 Yeah you made my day So i just need to find one and is there any recommandation for cables ? thx

francrouge Posted February 2, 2018 Author Posted February 2, 2018 is there a way to disable VT-d in unraid or it is in the bios
un4given Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 hi. wil this card work also with VT-D ON? i need virtualization at all cost. what other controller can i take except LSI?

AMCC 3ware (LSI) 9690SA 4I8I I couldn't find any internet references to indicate that specific card will do IT mode, it looks like a RAID only card. unRAID doesn't work well with RAID only cards. As far as a list, browse through @johnnie.black's posts, I know he calls out the current list it seems like every 10th post or so.

Lets see how it will do.
