Rajahal Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 SUPERMICRO AOC-SASLP-MV8 PCI Express x4 Low Profile SAS SAS RAID Controller Currently $116 after shipping. Not the best deal around, but hopefully we'll see this on sale before too long. Also, their tech specs are a bit misleading. It claims to have 8 x SAS, whereas it really has 2 x miniSAS that are capable of supporting up to 8 SATA drives. I'm also curious what they mean by a 3 year labor warranty... Link to comment
kizer Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Looks like they have cables to match. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&Description=SFF8087OCF&x=0&y=0 Link to comment

Where is the best deal around? I'm in the market and New Eggs price actually looks to be about he norm. I found it for $110 from some no name place, and I would rather pay the extra $6 to get it from a reliable source. Where are you guys buying them from? Link to comment
Rajahal Posted September 17, 2010 Author Share Posted September 17, 2010 I bought both of mine from SuperBiiz: Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 8-Port SAS/SATA Add-on Card $112 shipped, I think that's the cheapest everyday price that I've seen. I actually picked up both of mine on sale, though, so I paid around $97 shipped for each of them. The cables I believe I bought at Newegg. Look for open box deals on cables, you can save a few bucks there as well. Link to comment
bcbgboy13 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 SuperBiz (eWiz) almost always have a coupon that can lower the price by $10 -$15. With the "TOUCHDOWN" now you can get it for $102 - free shipping and mostly no taxes. BUT this card is not usable without one or two breakout cables so it makes sense to buy from a place that will have good all around price for the card and one/two cables. Buy.com also has is for $107 shipped Link to comment

KYThrill Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Just ordered one off SuperBiiz for $97. Figured it would be hard to beat that. Link to comment
theone Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 Just ordered one off SuperBiiz for $97. Figured it would be hard to beat that. $97 is for the PCI-X not PCI-e card. make sure this is what you want. Link to comment
