A picture of my backplane is below. The stock wiring has all of the SATA/8087 cabling going to the far right of the case where the motherboard sits. This didn't work well for me so I added a rubber grommet and routed the SATA/8087 cables through the middle of the case. The SATA cabling also...

Don't know how I didn't post this before, but SATA drives work fine with the backplane and included 8087 to SATA cables

I don't see how the power connectors are that big of a problem. As can be seen from the backplane picture, each backplane has two molex connectors. With two backplanes, that is a total of 4 molex connectors. The U-NAS comes with two female molex to 2x male molex Y connectors, so at the side of...

No, not in the NYC area unfortunately. I did however purchase this cable: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B013G4FC2W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and my drives are showing up in the LSI/Avago BIOS and in Windows 10 (temporary OS, I will be installing proxmox and FreeNAS with...

The drives are new full-warranty non-OEM drives according to HGST support who I called and gave SNs to. I have 4 drives of which I've opened and tested 2. They were purchased here: Amazon.com : HGST Ultrastar 7K6000 HUS726060AL4210 6 TB 3.5" Internal Hard Drive - SAS - 7200 rpm - 128 MB Buffer -...

The 9207-8i got here and the drives still aren't showing up. The 8087 to 4x SAS cables will be here tomorrow.

I have a Dell PERC H310 flashed to IT mode to become an LSI SAS 9211-8i (although I've also ordered a 9207-8i that should be here today). I have a U-NAS NSC-800 case which holds 8 SAS2 or SATA drives. To accommodate these drives, there are 2x 4-port SAS backplanes that accept 4 SATA data...

Ever have any luck getting this sorted out?

Any luck getting your 12Gb/s SAS drives to work with the SAS-2 card? I'm in the same boat.

@PigLover, unfortunately I don't have any other DDR4 motherboards or RAM. I will try testing one stick at a time tomorrow. @sullivan, My board is a Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F and I am using Samsung ECC REG M393A4K40BB0-CPB RAM from the Supermicro compatibility chart. I will check my BIOS revision...

I have a new Supermicro Xeon D motherboard, with two new Samsung 32GB DDR4 sticks of RAM. I've been running Memtest86+ for the last 13 hours and have found 80 errors. I'm wondering if the errors could be caused by something other than the RAM. The RAM and motherboard both came new from eBay...

Any reason not to get the 9305 for a FreeNAS build? I know it probably isn't well tested, but do you know if the card and firmware version are supported? Edit: I'm using a U-NAS NSC-800 case (Xeon-D 1541) with space for 8 3.5" hot-swap bays and (depending on creativity) maybe 4 SSDs, so I don't...

Thanks! That was the main difference that I saw too. They seem to use different processors, but from what I can see in the data sheets, the performance numbers look the same. Do they have feature parity as well? If the 9305 is cheaper and smaller and otherwise identical, why continue selling...

Anyone know the difference between these two cards? The LSI SAS 9300-16i and the LSI SAS 9305-16i? The 9305 seems to be a newer card, but the 9300 is still being sold for ~$40 more on average. They look very similar to me. I'm planning on using them in a FreeNAS build.
