I got replies that suggest LSI (or equiv) 9211-8i or 9300-8i as good cards.
The price difference is significant, so I wonder what I get for the extra
money, especially as I plan to use it as a plain HBA (so no hwr raid, is
this what the IT fw is?).
For example, is the 9211 (older model?) likely to not work with a new
mobo a year from now (I plan to upgrade)?
Broadcom removed the 9211 from their site, is the 9207-8i the current
replacement model?
I will not use SSDs with the card, so handling 8 HDDs should not be a
stretch for either one?
TIA
