Hey guys,
I'm still learning a lot in the field of self hosting and servers. I've been doing a lot of research but I still can't quite find a good answer. I have a Dell R720xd and I want to attach a JBOD supermicro chassis (something like this one). What would be the recommended SAS HBA controller to put in my Dell R720xd so these can communicate? I was thinking one of the LSI SAS 92xx external cards but I'm not sure. Which one of those in particular is recommended? Do I need to do anything special to it like flash the card to some other firmware? Thanks!
