    Another Help What HBA Should I Consider Post

    The Dell H200E should be around $20 shipped https://www.ebay.com/itm/123593992422 Everything you've read and watched online re LSI HBA "fakes" from China is utter bullshit. As in there are many unscrupulous sellers and ordering from another country makes it more difficult to deal with returns...

    Proxmox = "THE" universal Linux VM and ZFS storageserver

    I have been using Proxmox VE as my preferred general server use Linux distro since v3.4 release in 2015. Basically I was treating it as Debian with ZFS.

    Inspur-branded LSI9300-8i for $50

    Semsotai is one of my favorite ebay sellers. I am well north of 200 units ordered from them. I bought mostly SATA SSDs and about 20 of those SAS3008 HBAs - not a single dud so far.

    CISCO UCS C240 M4 12LFF 2x E5-2680V4

    UCSC-MRAID12G and UCSC-SAS12GHBA are the same hardware. But at $15 shipped for the HBA I would not bother crossflashing.

    ZFS with Broadcom/LSI 3108 in JBOD mode

    In my own servers. Before yesteryear's influx of dirt cheap Inspur branded adapters I was routinely buying used 3108 controllers at half price of 3008 ones and flashing them to IT mode.

    ZFS with Broadcom/LSI 3108 in JBOD mode

    SAS3108 is no more "hardware raid" than SAS3008. As in it uses the same general compute cores for all its processing needs. And yes, it absolutely can run the same firmware as 3008.

    EMC KTN-STL3 15 bay chassis

    Remove the interposer from the tray and post pictures of both sides. Also check all other interposers you have to see if you have any that look different (diff PCB layout).

    Looking for Business computer replacement

    You do you. All I was saying that for a long time there has been another way of connecting multiple monitors to a system which does not require matching number of video outputs.

    Looking for Business computer replacement

    To support multiple monitors on almost any system - get a monitor with MST and daisy-chain the rest.
