A) Can I use this drive with a 2008 controller as is?
B) Can I reformat this drive to 512e (or 512)?
C) if not A) or B), what SAS controller is suggested?
I have a NAS Killer 2.0 now, but as the x5670 CPUs cannot run ESXi 6.7 or 7.0, I will be looking for another NAS Killer option (soon). (Nested within unRAID?)
I bought one from same seller (i can vouch drive works well with no smart errors) and I use it on unraid with a 9201-16E sas controller. So far everything is working well.
