Which HBA offer best bandwith and speed when connected with 2 SFF 8087 cables, will the Dell Perc H310 do?

A PCI 3.0 HBA would be best for 24 disks if your CPU/board supports it, e.g., LSI 9207-8i

Is this strictly a PCI-E limitation? Will an M1015 perform better? Can the 9207-8i be bought below 100 USD. I see some from China and Hongkong, but don't in those are legit. I am in the Netherlands BTW.

 

Would the Dell GTP9G LSI SAS9217-8i 9207-8i RAID/HBA be an option. It are server pulls and the seller is offering it with IR or IT firmware and FH or HH bracket.

like this one:

It's a PCIe 2.0 limitation, M1015 will be the same.

I bough mine used for about $70, I prefer used server pull over new from China every time.

Yes, the 9217 is the OEM version of the 9207.

Are you using a 360 expander too?

No, I have one server with 2 x RES2SV240 connected to a 9207, it's using 2 tower cases connected by an external SAS cable, one with 18 disks and the other with 12, I have a pic I posted the other of the smaller tower with 12 disks:

I will have to find a way to mount the expander in my supermicro chassis.

 

I almost wish there were some non-functional bare low profile pcie cards that I could use as a carrier for the expander.

 

I have at least 4 free pci-e slots in the chassis.

 

Do you know of any sff 8087 cables with 90 degree angled connectors?
