So, plugging it in, and on the first boot I check the controller BIOS which says:Īnd lastly, a cold boot so I could hit Ctrl-C and check out the HBA bios. Besides, I want to go with zfs this time – the filesystem-level checksums and data integrity are very attractive. However, all that isn’t much use to me, as I’m a big fan of software RAID, on the basis that if a motherboard or disk controller fails, I can transplant just the drives into a different machine and at least have short-term access to my data. As you can see, even without flashing its a decent looking card, supporting a whole lot of RAID setups including 5 and 50. Here’s a link to the spec sheet from Dell. With any luck, it’ll last me to the stage where terrabyte-sized SSDs are affordable enough for home use □ The Perc H310 is a sas2008 based card, and importantly, its a 6Gbps card, which means it should last me through multiple iterations of my usual server upgrade schedule (every 2 or so years).
