Worth moving to SAS12Gb/s?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

 

I have 16 x SATA HDDs over two LSI SAS9240-8i cards (8 drives each)

 

Would there be any benefit to me moving over to a single 16 port SAS 12Gb/s controller over the two i have now (other than obviously freeing up a PCI-E slot)

 

I'm not sure what the saturation needs to be to max my controller out, but i'm obviously wanting the quickest parity rebuilds i can get (Currently takes around 35 hours for a parity check with 2 x 14TB drives

Almost no.

Usually should ~2hrs per TB, previous size and time taken ?
