I have this one for may be 7y already. 08:00.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic SAS1068E PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS (rev 08) https://wiki.pdl.cmu.edu/pub/OpenCloud/CloudManuals/SCG_LSISAS1068E_PB_040407.pdf It is 3Gb/s - don't know about the newer ones, but this one is working perfectly well for all those years 24/7. regards
