August 10, 20196 yr I currently have my SSD cache drive on a port on my flashed H200 controller. I see errors and I hear it's because that controller even when flashed doesn't support SSDs. Can you recommend a good, say 2 port, SATA controller for an R710 server? I saw some for $20 on Amazon but not sure they are "server grade".

Did you populate the the cd drive if not and your not using it that's where I put mine, also there is an additional sata port on the board but you will need supplemental power
August 12, 20196 yr Author I do have a DVD drive and would like to leave it there. Plus I hear that SATA port is not as fast as a newer controller would be (3Gbps vs 6?). Then again, I could attach an external DVD drive for the few times I rip something. Plus it would give me another bay for more bits! Is this what everyone does on their R710 - use the DVD bay with a tray for their SSD cache drive?
