These things work with the ahci driver: http://www.addonics.com/products/ad4mspx2-a.php Performance is marginal for use as an l2arc or slog, but they're fine for installing the OS. Hot-swapping a failed device is tricky but possible - I use nylon screws in case I drop one on the MB... Kevin

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA5EM2KP1657 Also, I created a new thread about the differences with 4kn and 512e. Logically, it would make sense the performance would be the same. I think it would then depend on which one is cheaper. thanks, Geoff On 16-03-20 01:15

As far as I see, there are no 4Kn 4TB SAS drives, only 6TB. From performance view, is there any different between 4Kn or 512e that is formated with ashift=12? Matej > On 19 Mar 2016, at 19:19, Geoff Nordli wrote: > > I have had really good luck with the Seagate drives as

Hi. I have had good luck with the SuperStorage 6037R-E1R16L chassis with the LSI 2308 IT mode HBA. Thoughts on the http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/3U/6038/SSG-6038R-E1CR16L.cfm. It has the LSI 3008 HBA and Intel x540 network cards. I want to get at least 4TB 3.5" SAS drives.
