icon123 Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 I have an Areca ARC-1210 which is a 4 port PCI-E x8 raid card. Under Windows environments it works well. From my understanding, it works fine in unRaid as well except I don't think you can spin down the drives or get temp. readings from them. I know you can spin down via the Areca bios, but I would like to have all my drives function the exact same way regardless if they are on the MB sata ports or an expansion card. Therefore, what 8 port cards offer this seemless integration? Does the Supermicro one that is recommended offer this? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
Rajahal Posted January 14, 2011 Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yes, the Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 allows both drive spin down and temp readings controlled by unRAID. It is by far the best option available today. Quote Link to comment
