Notes
- I do not recommend Dell/HP/IBM/Intel/Fujitsu or other LSI OEM cards.
These “real” LSI models are readily available and are much easier to flash. - All models support SAS & SATA drives
- Most SATA SSDs will not support TRIM on SAS HBA, use SATA3 instead.
- All models are SAS2 6Gbps compatible
- Type = Internal/External
- Num. Drives = 4 drives per port, with no expander.
- All low profile cards can be used with high profile bracket, allowing support for either.
- Notes = Firmware options, 4Kn sector support
