Need help with SYBA SI-PEX40108 4 Port SATA III

Featured Replies

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

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.

cool thx do you have any recommendation or site to buy it ?

 

thx

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.

So should i bought the syba and disabled the vt-d ?

 

I don't need VT-d

 

thx

Are you using all the x16 PCIe slots? It will work on one of those, though one of the top two would be preferable.

My x16 are all empty nothing is plugged right now.

 

So would an lsi card fit you think ?

 

thx

Yes, it will work in any x8 or x16 slot.

Don't have a specific recommendation, but make sure they are forward breakout cables, reverse breakout look the same but won't work.

No. Marvell doesn't typically work. Asmedia I think works. LSI is your best option.

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.

After it arrives, contact Broadcom Support with pictures, SNs, etc to find out if it's a counterfeit card or not.
