I used the RES2SV240 card in OI for a while with no issues. It is a standard LSI based LSISAS2x expander chip. Use it now in FreeNAS and the 9211-8i card functions fine with SATA drives. I currently have 20 SATA drives connected to it with no issues while running IT firmware and ZFS. I have

hot-swap is the bomb, so make sure you get that because having to shut down to replace a drive is not cool (I have not shut off my server in a long time, even with the drive failures). Cheers, On Jan 2, 2014, at 5:21 PM, Roman Naumenko wrote: > David Scharbach said the following, on 02-01

Supermicro may bit a bit overkill for the home server :) Although I have considered it for myself at home… We used them where I used to work and they are pretty nice for the money. For myself, I opted to go with the Norco 4220, a Tyan MB with an integral LSI-2008 based HBA, LSI based intel SA

I use Raid-Z2 for my main array. 6 disks would give you effectively 4 disks usable with the ability to tolerate ANY 2 disk failures. Mirroring would allow for 3 disk failures ONLY if the failures were in different sets, if I understand mirroring correctly. There is a risk that the right 2 fai
