Hello,
I wondering if anyone can tell me exactly what SAS controller is being used in an R20?
I have remote access to a system at one of our remote sites and see the following when I do lspci:
17:00.0 Serial Attached SCSI controller: Broadcom / LSI SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 02)
That seems to be very detailed, but when I do a search for it, I get references to a Broadcom SAS3008 I/O Controller and also a Supermicro HBA SAS3008.
My goal is to repurpose an old Dell server and load it up with a stack of old drives for use in a lab environment. I thought if I could get the same controller already known to be reliable (as it's used in official TrueNAS systems) I could avoid issues. So, if anyone has physical access to their R20 and able to get more information, please let me know.
