Jetjockey Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 (edited) A very quick query. Can anybody offer me some advice/statistics on the real world benefit of using a SAS drive over a SATA drive. Has anybody here personal experience? I know there's often a huge difference in price but I've found a deal that puts the price in the same ball park as SATA. I'm just wondering if the benefits outweigh the potential problems? By problems I mean that should the motherboard die a horrible death I would need to buy an LSI SAS controller with my next motherboard. Am I painting myself into a corner here for minimal benefit? Thank you in advance. 🙂 Edited May 13, 2020 by Jetjockey Quote Link to comment
Sudomeid Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 I too would like to know this. Am thinking of swapping out SATA for SAS drives if the benefits are worth the effort. Quote Link to comment
Vr2Io Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Unraid not support SAS drive automatic spinsown and no solid indication SAS have higher throughput or I/O. Quote Link to comment
