francrouge Posted February 2, 2018 Share 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 Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 2, 2018 Share 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. Quote Link to comment
francrouge Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 cool thx do you have any recommendation or site to buy it ? thx Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 2, 2018 Share 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. Quote Link to comment

I don't need VT-d thx Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 2, 2018 Share 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. Quote Link to comment
francrouge Posted February 2, 2018 Author Share Posted February 2, 2018 My x16 are all empty nothing is plugged right now. So would an lsi card fit you think ? thx Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yes, it will work in any x8 or x16 slot. Quote Link to comment

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

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

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. 1 Quote Link to comment
