![]() hobbled unRAID together and tested using ESXi 5.1 with other VM's (using RDM for the drives). I still see the 2nd generation low-profile 3Gbps card as in stock, but would rather stick with the newer card if possible.Ĭurrently have an Antec P182 case with Gigabyte X58 Chipset Board, Core i7 920, 12GB RAM, OCZ Modstream 700W PSU, 6 x 1TB 7200RPM Seagate Drives and 1 x C300 SSD for Cache. ![]() I did a search and came up with slightly older threads - am I mistaken, or has this 3rd generation card been around for a while (Newegg reviews show 2013, but I thought maybe they was because they migrated their SKU from 2nd generation or something). I'm just waiting for them to come into stock in Canada, but thought I would check. Has anyone tried the latest Supermicro AOC-SAS2LP-MV8 card (3rd generation, now supporting 6Gbps x 8 SAS/SATA drives, requires PCIe x8 slot)? Any feedback or other ideas?Īlso, is there any reason to get the older SuperMicro SASLP at this point? My personal inclination is to go with the SuperMicro even though it is overkill unless I can find a recommendation for a good 4 port card. For instance, LSI cards seem to be very expensive and many of the IBM M1015 cards ship from China. I've reviewed recommendations here on the forum but it's a little hard to figure out what is current.
