HBA + Sas expander info


Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

I'm looking to order a new HBA. I actually need 16 ports. So i either buy an 8 port HBA + expander or 16 port HBA.

When i go for the expander route, i can leave the sata ports on the motherboard and focus all drives on the HBA.

 

I was thinking on the LSI 9207-8i and intel RES2SV240.

The intel being the most recommended.

HOWEVER, it is nearly impossible to find? I need a valid VAT invoice, so ebay is no path for me.

I'm based in europe, so what are my options?

 

Is the intel discontinued? I see a newer 28 port version is available, but its way more expensive.

So anyone know of a place where i can find the intel new ? Or can recommend another option?
