Hi everyone. I’m planning out my next server build, but need some help on the storage side. I've been looking at the LSI 9400-16i HBA since it will do sata/sas and nvme. But I need some help with the nvme part. My plan is to run 4 x nvme in x2 mode so I can run 2 x nvme pr. port the controller...

Hey, So I have this controller. It's a smartHBA 2100-4i4e. I bought it thinking it should be compatible with SmartHBA firmware, but I neglected to read the fine print that it is sold by HP. So now I find out it's only compatible with HP firmware, as far as I can tell. Has anyone ever...

I have an IBM x3650 M3, with the 16-bay front, and it's currently running an M5015 RAID card (Which doesn't work with FreeNAS without some non-standard flags set, and even then it's... interesting). The way it's connected internally is the 2 SFF8087 connectors on the x8 RAID card in one of the...

Hello wise people of STH I've been using multiple SAS2008 cards for a while and needed to free up some PCIe slots, so bought an Adaptec 72405 card (have about 20 drives connected). My server is for media - I use Snapraid for parity so most of the drives are idle most of the time, hence I want...

Okay, Somebody was playing with the power on the server. I have a RAID5 80 TB array whose members show as optimal but the logic volume shows as failed. The drives are fine because I can read their info (temperature for example), and I don't expect there to be much of any data loss. I tried to...

So, I've kinda given up on Windows Storage Spaces, but now I'm having trouble with interfacing my RAID card and backplane. So, I got an Adaptec 8805 RAID card (latest firmware) that I've pulled from a working system. When I hook up the SATA ports to the a Sunrich S-331 backplane (Marvell 9235...

Hello, Most of the feedback here in the forum appears to be LSI. Noticed Adaptec 7 series Dell branded cards listed for around 90-100 for a 8i-16e low profile card. Can anyone shed light on the driver support under linux, FreeNAS etc? The 71685 (16i-8e) or 72405 (24i) cards on the other hand...
