Afternoon,
I'm after a new 8 port HBA for my home server (running UnRaid)- have 16 drives, currently 8 are running off the integrated broadcom 3008 controller (this is the motherboard http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/xeon/c600/x10srh-cln4f.cfm) and the other 8 are presented to UnRaid as 8x raid0 arrays via a perc 6/i (not ideal I know but its worked fine up till now) unfortunately the perc seems to be dying, and as such I'm looking to buy a new 8 port HBA that can do JBOD on the last 8 disks.
Does anyone have any recommendation? I am seeing some cheap 2nd had HP ones around, but not sure if it's worth going for those or not...
Cheers
