LSI megaraid or ZFS with sata 3?

[LkS45]

Hey!

My server is with a CPU E5-2650L v4 and a LSI megaraid 9440. Well, i like this setup but is very, very hard to manager it on proxmox. Cause LSI/broadcom dnt update the manager for linux, only older versions is available. So, when i need to change disk, replace and raid configuration i need to reboot the server, enter the BIOS to run the megaraid manager.

So, im thinking if not a better idea remove that controller and run all in a ZFS with the native sata 3 controller of the server. Will I experience a drop in performance compared to using the current raid controller?

Thanks!!

Nope, if anything, you’ll have better performance. Hardware RAID has been outdated since before the advent of ZFS (which is about the Pentium 4 era), it is one of the reasons ZFS exists.

Probably not.

But you will earn a lot of goodies: https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/f...y-a-few-disks-should-i-use-zfs-at-all.160037/
