Hello,
I'm looking to install an HBA as I'm running out of SATA Ports on my Motherboard.
I have selected these models. Can anyone tell me which one would be best in terms of cooling, performance, and better technology? Pricing isn't an issue here. I can invest like 500-1K for two cards I guess.
LSI 430-16i
LSI 9300-16i
LSI 9305-16i
LSI 9400-16i
Also, why only 9300-16i require an external power? Is 9300-16i just more power-hungry and maybe more powerful?
On a side note, I have read about some counterfeit cards. So how do I verify if the one I would get is genuine? Any way to verify it? Like Intel's Yotta Mark?
Thanks
