[W][US-NC] 16-port SAS HBA 12Gb/s - internal connection

[WackyWRZ]

Looking for a 16-port internal SAS 12Gb/s controller. Something like an LSI 9305-16i or newer. Will be using it in unraid - HBA mode.

I'm trying to avoid the monstrosity that is the 9300-16i, but would consider it if the price is right.

Found what I needed. Thanks everyone!

I think I have an Areca ARC-1883ix-16-8G here and I think I have an LSI/Broadcom one as well but I would need to check which model that one is.

UPDATE: Looks like it is a 9361-8i unfortunately I had. I do have that Areca though that's unused and available.

Thanks for looking out! That Areca looks like a beast and way more card than I need. I just need something to do HBA/IT mode. Unfortunately the specs say it draws nearly 40 watts too which would double my server idle draw.

Yup no worries. The 9361-8i definitely will do that but its too small for ya. I'll look to see if I have anything else though later today.
