QUOTE(edministrator @ Dec 5 2019, 11:50 PM) Hi bro, just wondering what is the difference between getting 2 SAS cards vs 1 SAS card + 1 Expander? Both would result in 16 HDDs config I assume the purpose is to build a large logical drive instead of 2 logical drive with 2 cards? |

QUOTE(edministrator @ Apr 22 2020, 11:36 AM) nope. 2 cards can also build single logical drive using raid from freenas, DSM, etc. using passthrough/IT mode. Oh, I didn't mean software RAID from freenas etc... I mean from hardware RAID point of view where expander required as compared to 2 raid cards.Anyway, I've been googling about flashing firmware for Fujitsu D2616 and it doesn't seems to be supported... Can anyone able to confirm? Considering building an unraid NAS for Plex... |
