If you want something weird there's THIS thing. I've never USED it but it seems to be FOUR of those chips on one card. I think it might ACTUALLY be four discrete devices, each getting their own PCIE lane. In retrospect it'd have been more space efficient on my system, cause I could have had a lot more on my 16x slot.
I'm looking at a very similar card to do something very similar. But this card seems to be the best/cheapest/working method I've found. Does anyone know of a cheaper card (or option)? One that works with either a single slot or only pcie x1?
I didn't get joy from this card under Linux when I briefly tried it, but Windows might be more accomodating. It's a 16-port SATA controller https://smile.amazon.com/IO-Crest-Controller-Green-SI-PEX40097/dp/B00XI4OL82
You know if there's a list of supported chipset on the ROCKPro64 PCI-e?
With something like this I could connect up to 16 SATA discs and run ZFS with it.
I currently have an old server: Tyan motherboard, intel core2duo, 8GB DDR2 ram, PCI-X (not express, the old PCI-X format), 10 3TB hard drives in RAID-Z2... It's massive, heat a lot for not so much perfs, and I'd like to replace it with a lighter config like a ROCKPro64...
Performance-wise, I only need gigabit speed, about 100MB/s top.
>That's PCIe. I don't see a little green connector.
Perfect. It might just be a cutout to make it fit the systems that I mistook for a connector. I'm not sure how they were mirrored, I just know there were 2 drives in total, of which I now have one (for forensic purposes). They were in an old HP server (model eludes me unfortunately) The sysadmin rebuilt the server on top of the second one, so it's temporarily running without a mirror until I can get the data off and get it back to them so he can rebuild the RAID. I feel the sysadmin knows what he's doing though so the fact that he said it should work standalone makes me a bit more confident.
I understand there's unknowns but appreciate the help. I think I might just bite the bullet and purchase this one https://www.amazon.ca/IOCrest-SI-PEX40097-Port-PCIe-Controller/dp/B00XI4OL82/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=SAS+HBA&qid=1567090932&s=gateway&sr=8-3 from amazon, if things don't work out I can always just return it and say it didn't work.
So I would want 2 of something like this? IO Crest 16 Port SATA III PCIe 2.0 x2 Controller Card Green, SI-PEX40097 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XI4OL82/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_pClzDbHH2EXC0
Is there a specific card that is popular in the UnRaid community ?
