peterg23 Posted June 23, 2020 Posted June 23, 2020 (edited) Checkout the following links for potential problems with the AOC-SASLP-MV8 and unRaid. * I have found the following site reliable for HBA IT-mode controllers : https://www.ebay.com/str/theartofserver/HBA-IT-mode-controllers/_i.html?_storecat=23844485012 Edited June 23, 2020 by peterg23 Quote
churchb Posted June 23, 2020 Author Posted June 23, 2020 OK Maybe I will get something new to replace them, what I really want to understand is whether the above should all be compatible with each other, dont want to find out something isnt compatible after dismantling my old server. Quote

No. Some people have issues when IOMMU is enabled at all, some have issues regardless of IOMMU being disabled. Some people have no issues at all, but when your data integrity is at risk, it's not worth testing fate. 1 Quote
