nraygun Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 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". Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 Get an Asmedia based 2 port controller. Quote Link to comment

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 Quote Link to comment
nraygun Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 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? Quote Link to comment
