I have a PowerVault MD1200 array that I would like to use with ZFS. Host is a PowerEdge R710. Is PERC H200e (also known as Dell 6Gbps SAS HBA Adapter) suitable for this task?
does the MD1200 need a "more powerful" HBA? Or the only thing that matters is the bandwidth that the card can handle (6Gbps in this case). Sorry for my ignorance, I have very little experience with this kind of setup.
Hi, every SAS Cable has 4 Lanes with 6GBit Bandwidth. You have cumulative 24GBit per Cable and I think the PCIe 2.0 8x is the real Bottleneck.
For this old Server Is this OK.
