Hello I am new here and just finished up a server build for a vmware whitebox.
I purchased the LSI 9265-8I and I would like to get a battery backup unit for this card.
However I now see per this forum that there are many compatible OEM parts that are just relabled LSI Parts.
Questions
1. Does anyone know if there is a cheaper OEM Battery Backup equivalent for the LSIBBU09 Part# LSI00279?
2. Can the IBM ServeRAID Expansion Adapter 60Y0309 work without issues for the LSI 9265-8I card?
I have been reading around the forum and wish I had found this place sooner before I finished my server build I could have proably saved some dough.
Thanks for your help
