November 18, 20196 yr Hello, I m running out of Sata port on my X9DR3-F Supermicro MB. I m looking for a 4 port SATA 3 extension card.... I saw the 9211-8i SATA3.0, but I don t need 8 port, I only need 4. Do you have any suggestion for a 4 ports? I plan to plug 8TB hard drive on it... Thanks ! Cheers !
November 19, 20196 yr https://wiki.unraid.net/Hardware_Compatibility#PCI_SATA_Controllers I'm going to give this one a shot: Shinestar Splitter $38 amazon, it's based on the Marvell 88SE9215 chip, which is listed on the compatibility list as a SYBA SI-PEX40064 aka.

November 19, 20196 yr Marvell is compatible with unraid 5.x and older. Probably not going to work well with 6.X Hundreds of threads on here with marvell controller issues.
November 19, 20196 yr Oh gees. Found someone talking about this LSI SAS9211-8i card on reddit. Looks promising, and cheaper on eBay search.
