starcat Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 Hi guys, Any recommendation for a PCI-X SAS controller with an internal interface? To go into a Supermicro X7SBE mainboard. Thanks very much! Quote Link to comment
starcat Posted January 4, 2019 Author Share Posted January 4, 2019 ... or any PCI-E controller with an 8x physical interface? The X7SBE seems to have a free PCI-E slot, 8x only though... Quote Link to comment

Those would be very old controllers, and for example all from LSI will be 2TB limited. 42 minutes ago, starcat said: or any PCI-E controller with an 8x physical interface? 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.

starcat Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Thanks very much. I have got an IBM M1015 and will be cross flashing it. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment
starcat Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) Would the LSI 9280-8e also work with unRaid? I am also looking for an external-port alternative for another built. Edited January 13, 2019 by starcat Quote Link to comment
