    I will look for a guide. I did notice that the manual states JBOD mode is supported, but there is no mention of IT mode. I assumed they...

    After ordering a SAS Controller, I have just found an LSI LS2-SAS9240-8i laying around which I can use. Untested, but I assume it works...

    Ordered a very cheap SAS 2308 based card and some cables. Will experiment...

    Anyone familiar with the difference between SAS3008 and SAS2308 based equipment? Is it just that the 2308 is slower? It seems more...
