September 7, 20196 yr New to unraid... Looking for a recommendation for a SATA controller for my new server. I'm coming from a Dell Server 2900 (old) New Equipment - MSI Gaming Plus MOBO - AMD 3900x (lucky to find one in stock) - H100i Liquid Cooler - 16gb DDR4 (will double in a few months) - Current Drives -- 4 256gb SSD's (for vm storage and usage) -- 2 8tb WD My Current drives are plugged into the MOBO Sata Ports, I plan on 9 more 2tb drives from my old server. What would be a good card to either run all 15 drives from or just the 9 more? Thanks!
September 19, 20196 yr I am new to unraid, too. But I based the decision on my SATA controller on... *drum rolls* ... The Hardware Compatibility List from the unraid-wiki 😁 Seems like the easiest way for you is buying a Highpoint RocketRAID 2740 or the recommended LSI SAS 9201-16i, both with 16 slots. I have no idea about the prices, though.
September 19, 20196 yr Author Yeah I was able to get a Adaptec 71506 to run and it was $40 on ebay!!!! Yay
