Looking to upgrade my old 3G HBA to 6G looking for what models to start looking into? LSI 9305-24i HBA came up but i was hoping for more budget friendly options. Thanks!
Location?i was hoping for more budget friendly options
That Mobo has all 16 (CPU) PCIe lanes into a single x16 slot. Much better to choose one that offers the option of (2 slots as) x16/x0 OR x8/x8. Also why 8x 1GbE when you're aiming for 10g?... swapping out to
supermicro x11scm-ln8f
Xeon 2276g ...
Ah-hah ... gifts are nice!@UhClem fortunately/unfortunatelythe mobo was a gift ...
Are you certain about that? Every place that part number is listed for sale its marked as 3Gb, not 6Gb.SAS Expander - HP 468405-002 24-Bay 6GB SAS Expander
First a few comments:@BoredSysadmin I use SATA exclusively
@RTM I actually might be mistaken here. Currently I have
HBA - Dell Perc H310 (IT mode)
SAS Expander - HP 468405-002 24-Bay 6GB SAS Expander
Backplane - BPN-SAS-846TQ
Current is
Motherboard - X8DTE-F
CPU x2 - Xeon L5630
swapping out to
supermicro x11scm-ln8f
Xeon 2276g
maybe im not bottlenecked....
would i benefit in upgrading my HBA and/or removing my SAS expander? i dont think so right?
That backplane has individual connectors for each port.though I have not checked the backplane connectors, it should just be a problem of getting the right cables
Note that option 4 is just an example of one way to achieve option 3thanks @kpfleming updated the post above that is a a valid option hmmmmm.
