From what I can tell, these are not bootable. But they are extremely fast and reliable. Great for a fast cache, plex metadata, or database.
Seems as though these are not compatible with unraid for some reason, YMMV on that front - more info in comments below.
Depending on your config, you may be able to pass the entire card through to a VM in unraid… again, YMMV.
That’s what I was told by lime tech in relation to getting these drives supported. I am not 100% sure that you can’t get these working manually but I tried installing via a tar.gz driver package that I found through Tom’s link without success:
If anyone has any further questions on what I tried I am happy to answer, might just take a while cause I am on holiday with only my phone.
Have you tried passing it through to a Windows or Linux VM?
I haven’t, but I am happy to test it if anyone is interested. Unfortunately I won’t be home until the 7th of July though.
I’m into these freakin cheap PCI express storage cards. I’ve done no research and ordered up. I’m assuming I won’t have any problems dropping this bad boy in a Cisco UCS 2U server running ESXi 6.
