P222 & JBOD


Recommended Posts

Hello!,

 

Anybody has experience with P222 in JBOD mode?. I've read some references of that being supported in newer firmware versions. 

 

I need to deploy a remote Microserver Gen8 and it's the only supported addon card (using other HBAs will force fans to full speed).

 

Option 1 (if JBOD possible):

- plug disk cage to the P222 (might enable hotplug?)

- mod the Microserver to connect 2xSSD disks to the onboard ports with SAS to SATA breakout cables

 

Option 2 (if JBOD not supported)

- keep cage connected with MB

- mod the Microserver to connect 2xSSD disks to the P222 and setup a RAID1 volume.

 

In any case, I would use the resulting SSD setup for cache.

 

Second option would be ugliest since unRAID would think it's unprotected, but looks like it would be cosmetic. If hotplug is possible with P222, that would be desired thought.
