Getting myself DELL PowerEdge T130:
- Xeon E3-1225 v5 3.3GHz
- 32GB UDIMM,2133MT/s,ECC
- LOM Broadcom BCM5720 1Gbps
It's going to be ESXI 6.0 system, and I want to have FreeNAS 10, as VM on it with 16GB reserved for FreeNAS VM.
So, I read guides, and understand I need to pass-through SATA controller.
Please help me identify controller to buy for that purpose.
Dell sais following controllers are compatible with T130:
- PERC S130
- PERC H330
- PERC H730
- PERC H830
I searched this forum and seems like PERC H-series can be cross flashed, but the process is rather complicated.
I read hardware guide and it names few good HBAs. Does anyone here experience using them with DELL? Any compatibility issue? Would you recommend certain HBA controller, which would work out-of-the box with T130?
