Nice information regarding RAID cards... Looking for some info or pages with regards to compatibility of RAID cards and motherboards.
Being from the tip of "Darkest Africa" where access to newer cheap PC equipment is far between
Recently got my hands on some 2TB SAS drive so therefore needed to get a SAS controller on the cheap (mommy would kill me if I spent thousands), a LSI 1068e based LSI SAS 3444e card which worked on the S3210SH(GA-H97 Gaming 3, GA-g31MX2S) I was using for storage (Win server 2016) which was swapped for a S1200BTS(more memory) from a local school following their server upgrade. Only to find the board had dead PCIe slots
Next got the current board I'm trying to get working an ASUS P8B-e/4l board with a Intel Xeon E3-1230V2, RAID controller not detected by any PCIe slot(slots work tested with GFX card). So I have 8x 2TB SAS drives and no means to run them. ASUS say the LSI card should work with the said board yet it seems not...
Any ideas
