Good evening everyone,
I am Hamstrangler. I recently started to build a homelab. I bought a Dell Poweredge r730, and it has a H730 Raid Controller. I am looking for a true HBA Controller from LSI to replace it, because I wanna use ZFS. I read some threads in the Proxmox Forum and there it says, that the H730 does not have a true HBA-Mode. In the Internetin sevreral threads I red are saying that the H330 has a true HBA mode but because some ZFS-features are picky about the used controller one should use a HBA Controller.
I tried figuring out which LSI HBA Controller to use, but I do not know what to look for and which one is compatible with the r730. I found the "LSI Broadcom 9211-8i 6Gbps SATA SAS HBA Controller IT MODE Avago PCIe x8 2.0" but then I red, that the 92xx-Series is having problems with PVE 8.
It would be much appreciated if someone could give me an advice which LSI HBA Controller to look for and why.
