Advice about LSI 9201 vs 9300 vs 9400


Recommended Posts

So I'm building a new setup for my Unraid server and I'm in need of more SATA-ports and it seems that LSI is the general consensus on how to solve that.

 

I'm looking at the three cards in the title and I don't really know wich one to get...

Or it's more like I'm looking at the 9201 vs 9400 as the 9300 and the 9400 seems cost similarly.

 

My issue is that I spent a little too much on other hardware and sort of forgot about this part and I'm in europe so it's hard to find the 9400 at a low cost.

 

I have 12 drives that needs to be connected to the card and I need room to connect another atleast another 2.

All drives connected to it will be mechanical.

 

So the main question is: Is the 9201 card going the be a bottleneck as it is PCIe 2.0 vs. PCIe 3.0 for the 9400?
