Hello,
I am shifting from 9300 series cards into 9400 series cards and formerly I was given the choice of IT and IR firmware. I'm using these HBAs to connect to JBODs and running zfs so I was using the IT firmware, not doing any hardware RAID.
With the 9400 series (P22 update) these options...
What we actually need are LSI 9400-8i8e cards. They appear to be impossible to source - perhaps too old ?
One option is to buy an OEM card - I think the lenovo 940-8i8e is the same part ? Is there also a Dell or adaptec version of this same card ?
Is there another option ? If I overpay for...
Spent a TON of time and energy researching and spec'ing ... and we decided that the perfect motherboard to roll out for the next few years would be:
supermicro x12dpi-nt6 (3rd gen xeon - Dual Socket LGA-4189)
... but it's impossible to find. Some places *say* they have it but they are just...
You know that cute trick that every boring vendor eventually tries to pull ? Where they want to sell you "solutions" instead of parts ?
IXSystems is pulling that now. They won't let us buy empty JBODs - they want to sell us hard drives at 50% premium.
So anyway ...
Where can I buy a...

We also need 7x half-height low-profile slots.
Finally, we are using plain old sata3 2.5" SSDs for ZFS L2ARC and SLOG, etc., so we need the ports to accept *both* SATA and SAS.
So I THINK that the correct variant for us is...
We have deployed a lot of X10DRH-iT motherboards out in the world ... the things we like the most about this board are:
- has a single onboard SFF-8087 that we can connect straight to backplane for first four drives
- dual 10gb NICs with good FreeBSD (ix) driver support
- 7 PCIe slots
We are...
