I have a Dell R510 I want to use with Unraid.  I know the Perc6 cannot be flashed so can someone point me in the direction of what I should be getting for a new controller card for this server.  And do I need to get new cables as well?

Below is what I put into my R710 this was turn key just put it in and go but not in the slot that the perc6i was in I understood that it is proprietary and the card won't work properly you do need breakout cables but they are cheap enough

This worked for me.... You can go into the PERC configuration (Ctrl-R) during boot, and configure each physical drive as an individual Virtual Disk type Raid 0 and Unraid will see the disks individually without needing to flash anything or replace the card.

Not the recommended approach.
