bfeist Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Hi everyone, I'm a long-time user (over 10 years at this point) and I'm still using Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 controller cards (two of them) plus my motherboard's onboard SATA connections, of course. I'm in the process of rebuilding a bad parity drive and I'm getting about 65MB/s across 16 drives. Are there newer cards out there that will do better than this? Just wondering if my somewhat ancient hardware is still relevant. Thz Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted December 2, 2019 Share Posted December 2, 2019 Any LSI with a SAS2008/2308/3008/3408 chipset in IT mode, e.g., 9201-8i, 9211-8i, 9207-8i, 9300-8i, 9400-8i, etc and clones, like the Dell H200/H310 and IBM M1015, these latter ones need to be crossflashed. 1 Quote Link to comment
TSM Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 The AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 is a better card, some on here have had problems with it, but always worked well for me. I had AOC-SASLP-MV8, and the 2 is much faster. Quote Link to comment
bonienl Posted December 27, 2019 Share Posted December 27, 2019 I am using Adaptec (Microsemi) HBA 1000-8i and HBA 1100-16i cards. Not the cheapest cards, but work flawless (you'll need Unraid 6.7 or later to use HBA 1100 series). Quote Link to comment
