Hi,
I got a supermicro board with internal LSI SAS. As it turns out it is not compatible with my 4TB drives... they show up as 2TB...
Does anyone have any recommendations on a SAS card? Needs to be compatible and have 8 internal ports.
And preferable not too expensive...
THX!

Re: Compatible 8 port SAS.
Thanks,
Would this work?
HP P400 sas controller (2x channels) Pci-eX4 512Mb + BBWC
50 euros so quite cheap.
Here are the specs from HP:
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/serv ... arrayp400/
Only has 1.5 Gbit in SATA mode. Does this mean the whole Sata array can only push 1.5 Gbit? Or is it per disk?
Thanks!

Re: Compatible 8 port SAS.
Have a look in the Hardware Compatibility list for FreeBSD 9.2 first.
Your Problem is ur Controller doesn't support disks over 2 TB, so u must also check this topic at HP for this Controller,
The LSI Controller I mentioned support disks over 2 TB.
