Marvell Sata Controllers (Marvell Chipset 9215)
I have an Asrock Q1900M Board with a Intel® Quad-Core Processor J1900 with two Syba SI-PEX40064 4 Port SATA III PCI-EXPRESS 2.0 x 1 Controller Cards (Marvell 9215) with 8 sata ports from the addon cards in total.
Will these controllers work with UNRAID?
I read about some issues in the forum but the postings are quite old and refer to older UNRAID versions.
Marvell controller based cards are no longer recommended as they can drop drives randomly from the array or fail to display them in the first place. This is more common with virtualization enabled. Some have found some kernel parameters that mitigate but do not totally solve the problem in all cases. It is a Marvell driver issue with recent Linux kernels.
To be safe, LSI, ASMedia (1061/1062) and some JMicron (JMB582/JMB585) chipsets are recommended; especially LSI. Lots of posts i
