Hi everyone, I will attempt to build a DIY DAS enclosure and among the components I am looking at is the Norco C-8087-8088F. I have a few questions: 1. This does not seem to require any external power. Is it practically 2 male>female adapters glued to each other? 2. In the host side (my PC) I...

I'm looking to upgrade my server a little bit and add on a DAS enclosure but I'm having some issues getting everything planned out before I buy stuff as I'm somewhat new to using RAID controllers and HBA cards. I'm planning on getting a rackmounted Rosewill case with hot swap bays to hold my...

Hello there, I would like to use the following setup: Hitachi DF-F800-RKAKS with Enclosure Control Unit model: Y1KAS (p/n 3282443-A) connected to a Windows 2012 server (HP DL360e Gen 8) with SAS9207-8e (IT mode) using a K1BS cable (p/n 3276137-A) and I don’t get any progress. During the post...

I've been lucky enough to obtain 6x800GB SSD drives which I will be adding to my ESXi home server but I'm a bit lost as to what add on card I should really get so that I can successfully pass through the card to a CentOS host running a BTRFS raid setup (which then hosts an NFS export for further...

Hello, I just got my SA120, and finished my VM host build for the most part. I'm missing some Intel DC SSDs (going for 3710, and 3700, but I want to find out if 3610s are OK for VM storage, I will explain in another thread most likely) and the HBAs and RAID card. My SA120 comes with two PSUs...

I would like to add SATA3 to a X8DTL-iF MB that unfortunately only supports PCIe 2, and has no controller for SATA3. The reason is leveraging SSDs. I might consider ditching the MB but I keep it because the two Westmere CPUs in it were bought at retail prices years back, and they are perfectly...

Hi there, with the black friday discount i bought two crucial mx300 525GB and until now i used them as spare drives for random files in my home because i was waiting for a DELL H200 IT mode HBA card. I finally had the opportunity to test them this week but the results are a bit disappointing...

Hi, i have one IBM SERVERAID M1115 SAS (using tape to cover B5/B6) controller that's not detecting any disks after connecting it to my backplace, an SM 826A. I'm now using direct SFF8087-SFF8087 cable i bought from ebay/China. I was able to get into it's BIOS, but no disks are listed there...

I recently purchased a SAS HBA (over here in great deals) LSI Sas 9201-16e And I'm loving it so far it's quick and flexible and I have a few external ports left after looping it back into my tower for the ones I need. I've been toying with using some of the old cases I have to build an external...

Hello, I have a Chelsio S320E 110-1082-31 dual port 10GBps PCI-E FC HBA. I am currently working on setting up a 40GBps lab, so cleaning out some older hardware. (Many RAID cards coming soon)! $50 +actual shipping (I'll throw in a gift!) $50 +actual shipping (I'll throw in a gift!)

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...

Here's my question in a nutshell: what are the benefits, if any, in upgrading SAS2008 cards to SAS2308 cards, besides offering PCIE 3.0 bandwidth and being capable of handling more devices (1024 vs 512)? If you had a server that only supported PCIE 2.0, containing several SAS2008 cards running...

Hey all I got my first LSI SAS HBA this week (LSI SAS 2008) and now want to get a second for my home file server running Solaris 11.3. I've found a good deal on a used LSI 9217-8i with the SAS 2308 chipset. It's priced the same as an OEM 9211-8i/SAS2008 but it's in the UK so I can get it...

Bought way too much gear for my home lab and in the process of inventorying all the excess HW and will be updating this thread. I've not done international shipping before and not familiar with the process. So, I'd prefer to limit it to CONUS but open to the idea of outside US. Prefer PayPal...

Hi guys I was wondering if you could recommend a good guide on how-to flash a LSI SAS 9210-8i HBA Controller. I´m going to use it for a Freenas Fileserver (ZFS) and need to flash it to IT mode. Advice would be much appreciated.

The SuperMicro X10SDV-7TP4F ships with an onboard LSI-2116. I've never worked with an HBA or a DAS before, so I'm may be doing this wrong, but here's what I want to do: Hook up the 4 internal SFF-8643 ports to this Quad External MINI SAS HD SFF-8644 to Internal MINI SAS HD SFF-8643 12G...
