Just bought a lsi 9300-16i. Price seemed pretty cheap for this and I want to make sure I've got a genuine card. I've read that people verify their serial numbers with LSI to make sure they didn't buy a "counterfeit". Has anybody here done that? If so, could you be kind to point me in the...

I need to connect 4 SED Ultrastar HC550 hard drives somehow, but I don't know what to look for other than low price and number of ports. The drives are less than 285 MB/s each, so I doubt there would be bandwidth limitations. Does the HBA affect use of TCG Enterprise encryption? I was looking at...

I got a 12600K used from a friend, and am deciding to build a NAS out of it with TrueNAS SCALE. The one thing that's exciting me is that this system would have a PCIe 5.0 x16 slot, which is a ton of bandwidth for things like M.2 NVMe drives - but I haven't found any sort of adapters or HBA's...

Hi, I'm doing a hardware upgrade on my server at home, and I'm planning to change the LSI 3008 on-board controller to a dedicated Adaptec ASR-71605. The LSI 3008 is used in IT mode, if I switch to the Adaptec controller, will it detect directly the hard drives as HBA and pass it through to the...

Hey All, Hoping someone may be able to help me as I'm stuck in a bit of a situation. For context, I'm trying to build a test S2D cluster with 2 HP DL360p G8's I have to get used to S2D environments at work. I'm fully aware these servers aren't "certified" for it, but should work if I can get a...

I've recently purchased a Gigabyte MZ72-HBO mobo and there are two U.2 NVMe (#38 & #39 on the board diagram in the user manual) ports attached to the CPU0. Rather naively, I assumed this meant that I could connect a SlimSAS to MiniSAS cable and run the Icy Dock MB720M2K-B 4x M.2 NVMe cage out...

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...

I am very new to RAID/HBA cards and to flashing them. I read through nearly all big guides (e.g. techmattr, etc.) on how to flash this card to IT mode. The files I used for flashing are from a link to a zip-folder provided in techmattr's guide (folder date: 2016-05-24) I have provided...

Hi! I have an issue with my Seagate Exos X10, the model ST10000NM0096. Problem are that i have two HBA card flashed into IT-Mode, one LSI 9210-8i and 9211-8i. These cards WONT see or spin up the drives at all. I have it connected via this cabel Mini SAS 36 SFF-8087 to (4) SFF-8482 Connectors...

Hello, I this seemed like the appropriate place for this thread. I just recently bought my first server and am trying to get it set up the way I want it. I am hoping someone can point me in the right direction with my issue (below). Some basic information: DL380p G8 2 x E5-2650 v2 16GB HPE...

Hello all, I am using Unraid as my OS and I am having some issues. I posted this in the Unraid forums, but I believe this is more of a hardware issue, so I copy and pasted it here, hoping for some help. I am having some problems when trying to add additional storage drives. I've added drives...

Hello, I have looked various places but I have yet to find a DIY cable or available cable to utilize the 2 4-pin headers for LED activity. I attached an image from the manual for it. Has someone been able to create a cable for this or would someone help me make one so that I can monitor the...

Looking for a 16-lane HBA for TrueNAS to connect 4x x4 U.2 NVMe drives that's: • Inexpensive • Isn't a bottleneck... • FreeBSD compatible (TrueNAS HCL) • Compatible with NON-SuperMicro hardware (Dell PowerEdge or Gigabyte MB) I'd been advised to look at these SuperMicro HBAs, but don't...

Hi Guys! This is my very first post so pls be gentle :) I bought my first server R720 for Homelab and it came with H310 Mini card. I have been reading a lot and different people have different experience flashing it. I have been watching @BLinux excellent YouTube videos but he doesn't show any...

I am really confused about some drive / raid configurations I've seen people have with their homelab servers. Both virtualization servers and NAS servers. Below I put some examples. ------------------------------------------------------------- Configuration 1: Variety of different drives on...

Hi all, I recently bought a SuperMicro AOC-S3008L-L8e HBA (LSI SAS3008 based with IT firmware) and plugged it in a home made NAS build with limited air cooling to keep everything quiet. Monitoring the SAS3008 ROC (Raid On Chip) device using storcli utility shows a rather high 65 °C / 149 °F...

I've filled up my motherboards 8 sata slots and now I'm looking for an HBA to get 8 more. Alas, I've only got a pcie 3.0 x8 physical with x4 electrical. I'm planning to expand my zfs pool and now I'm wondering if there are any serious bottlenecks having only 4 lanes would entail. It seems as...

I'm interested in building a storage server and using a few AOC-SLG3-4E4R / AOC-SLG3-2E4R cards to connect to a bunch of NVMe drives. Per this Supermicro page, AOC-SLG3-4E4R, AOC-SLG3-2E4R (and all the other cards without a PCIe switch) require a mux for more than one card on same PCIe bus...

Would like to sell my 2x 1x Dell Poweredge MD1200 DAS's w/ PERC H800 1GB HBA, 2TB Drives, with spare parts, and cables. Both units I purchased used and have been using them for two years in a smoke free home. The units and their drives ran in my house (air and humidity controlled space) during...

Sorry for the post, been utterly confusing myself of late and it's for cable/card types i've never used before, so i'd like someone to check this will likely work :) Case i've ordered is the Silverstone CS381 chassis. With my old PC's AMD B350 + 1700 CPU + 32GB RAM combo in it as my new NAS/VM...
