October 17, 201015 yr Anyone tried the following Fusion-MPT based card whether it will work with unRAID? It will be a good substitute for any (aging) AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards. SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8e - pure HBA http://www.supermicro.com/products/accessories/addon/AOC-USAS2-L8i.cfm?TYP=E
October 20, 201015 yr Interesting. So this is basically the SATAIII version of the AOC-SASLP-MV8? Doesn't that extra speed not matter in unRAID (at least not yet)? I mean, if it is the same price, then sure, why not. But I wouldn't pay extra for that feature. Also, are there any aging AOC-SASLP-MV8 cards? Didn't they come out less than a year ago? Finally, this card is full sized, whereas the AOC-SASLP-MV8 is half-sized. That probably won't matter for most of us, but it could for someone attempting to build the smallest possible server.
October 20, 201015 yr Interesting. So this is basically the SATAIII version of the AOC-SASLP-MV8? Nope this is not a Marvell card... All the latest gen SuperMicro cards are next gen LSI chipset cards. Which until Lime adds support for aren't much use...
December 28, 201015 yr This is a new LSI-2008 based card. The Linux support is still kind of new compared to the age of older cards, but seems to work inside of a standard Linux distro if you have mpt2sas drivers and a kernel of at least 2.6.30+. Obviously the newer the kernel the more recent the included drivers will be. I do not know if unRAID drivers will work with it or not. Hopefully the 5.0 beta 3 will include some scsi-based patches from SK to support this and additional controller cards.
December 29, 201015 yr AOC-SASLP-MV8 aging - saw it for sale for the first time in Denmark a few weeks ago.....
