I wonder if you can rewrite the memory profile using a board that would accept it

" (you have 48x 10Gb copper ports at home, though? :)) " ^^ well .... i could, if i bought this switch :D

well.... Brocade/Ruckus is neither Cisco nor Ubiquiti, so...

Whats the noise and power use on the Arista DCS-7050T-52 look like? 48 10G copper ports has to run hot as heck

didnt realize that! good news, might be some money saved. And you're right, due to the switch im capped out at 10GBE, and limiting myself to SFP28 isnt particularly useful, as the next likely jump would be 40gbe anyway

lower power, pci-e3, future proofing was my rationale. Looking to build a relatively future proof setup.

Environment: UPLINK1: 5Gbit Uplink, Input is is a 10GBASE-T copper link from the Fiber drop, into SFP+ Port1 on router below Router1: Opnsense w/ Mellanox ConnectX-4 (Dual SFP+) -SFP+ Port1: 10GBASE-T Copper SFP+ ...

with 1 SFF-8087 uplink its the v1 @ SAS3 speeds, so it should be able to do up to 250MB/s per drive, which is about the fastest a spinner will go

Thank you, that is super helpful. I got mine updated with the latest mptsas3.rom and mpt3x64 from broadcom, and then that .12 file from the truenas forums, but its still 2 independent sas controllers in the BIOS. Ill try this package. The .rom files have different checksums than the ones...

mine works fine, i just dont have the update mentioned there.

Can you link to the files you flashed with? I got 9300_16i_Package_P16_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows.zip from broadcom, but it sounds like you used something different/newer? Also, confirm that it just appears to be a singular sas address? I.E. before the update it appeared in boot as HBA0...

original seller didnt take an offer for 120. Anyone seen a seller in the 120 or less range?

ended up going with this solution LSI 9300-16i + 82885T for what should be a total of 28 disk capability. Sanity check my plan? 9300-16i Port 0 - Direct attach to disks 0-3 Port 1 - Direct attach to disks 4-7 Port 2 - Connect to expander port G Port 3 - Connect to expander port F 82885T...

Mines working great too. Pushed 320TB of verified data through it, no problems.

This LSI HBA is my first card thats not an enterprise RAID card ever. Ive run Arecas (1280, 1280ml, 1882ix-24i) for decades with zero failures, zero data loss. Just the concept of hardware RAID itself is getting deprecated

thats a good price, and going with a flashable adaptec card rather than a straight LSI is definitely a viable option. The ZFS guys frown on any non-straight HBA though... although i think theyre a little curmudgeoney and that fear isnt fully data backed.

I went with these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B086TVKKNX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Strike this :p I didnt realize the 9300 take SAS-HD connectors. all my current gear is 8087, gotta get new cables.

I actually couldnt find a SAS2 16i controller any cheaper.

unraid's pre-clear plugin does checks automatically. Gonna start running it tonight
