I've picked up a Norco 4224 4U Rack Case with a SUPERMICRO X9SCM-F-O LGA-1155 C204 mATX Server Motherboard and a i3-2120 processor locally for really cheap. The server came with 4 x aoc-saslp-mv8 SAS controller cards.
This server is going to be used as a media server on WHS 2011 on SnapRAID.
I was reading online that a lot of folks are facing of larger capacity disks not working with aoc-saslp-mv8 controller card. For some even the 3TB-4TB disks are not working.
As we know that Norco has a passive way of connecting the disks, what are the other options i have to use 4TB disks. I have a plethora of 4TB disks, and i would like to use it with the Norco chassis.
What card should i replace to make it work with this chassis and motherboard? I'll have to buy four of these cards, hence definitely i need to look at the price factor also.
Please guide.
