I was lucky to find(localy) 2 new dell branded LSI9211-8i, flash them to IT and now is all great, but they were the last ones and I need to find more cards.
Ebay has a lot of them from different sellers, new or used you can get for the same price, but how can I tell what is knock off , and what is good card. I read rumors about some fake LSI card, is there any advice what to look for when buying one ? Is there seller somebody can recommend who sell good genuine lsi 9211 card ?
Any input will be appreciated.
P.S.
By the way the only reason I am not crazy about IBM version M1015 is that the ports are facing the top panel of any server chassis instead of being on the back facing internal parts (hdds) which make much more sense.
