Hi, I have just got a SuperChassis 216A-R900LPB, with the BPN-SAS-216A backplane, and I need to get a storage controller for said chassis & backplane. I am looking for suggestions for raid cards, never had to get a raid card for a server, so Idk what exactly to get.
The chassis is 24 bay, but right now I will only have 12 drives in it, so I only need a 12 port storage controller at the moment. So,essentially I need a 3 or 4 port card for the 4 sas cables to plug into. I'm looking for something less than 200$ CAD (so pretty much 150$ USD). If anyone knows of good & cheap cards, I'd appreciate the help. If you need anymore info, just lmk.
Cheers.
