[WTB] 8 ports SAS/SATA card 6Gb/s


Recommended Posts

It looks like both the AM2+ & AM3 versions are basically the same.   I think the AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 should work (both of mine worked fine in PCI-E 2.0 slots). I replaced my 8 year old MB about 3 weeks ago and the controller cards carried over from there.

These are Marvell based controller cards and some people report issues. I bought both my cards off ebay and have had no issues in the last 6 or so years I've been using them.

Would this one work as well:

RAID controllers are not recommended, get 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.

Doesn't work with SSD? 

Don't have one yet in my server, but was thinking to add 1 as a cache drive.....! 

 

It is generally best to connect SSDs to motherboard SATA ports and hard disk drives to the HBA.  These HBAs don't support trim operations on SSDs.
