lasitter Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 I'm upgrading from a mainboard with a PCI-X (way old) ARECA controller and I'm trying to sort out some options.None of the PCIe 3.0 controllers are going to offer support for Win2k, so that leaves me with PCIe 2.0.Of the SATA III controllers offering Raid 50 and 60 that I've seen, these are the only two that offer support for at least eight drives via internal connectors with a half gig of cache:MegaRAID SAS 9260-16ihttp://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS9260-16i.aspxMegaRAID SAS9280-16i4ehttp://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/MegaRAIDSAS9280-16i4e.aspxIntel has one supporting eight drives but only 256mb cache.If you know of additional controllers I'm missing, please let me know.
