Hi everyone!
I want to use a Dell R 720, which has the original SAS 8 drive controller, for a FreeNAS SAN.
As I've learned from numerous sites, the drives need to be in JBOD mode, which the factory controller does not support. Although some have set it up as raid0 individual drives which I'd rather not do.
So my question is, does anyone have any experience with this controller and will it work with this server or recommend another HBA adapter.
LSI Logic Controller Card H5-25573-00 9300-8i SGL SAS 8Port 12Gb/s PCIE3.0

I'm looking for controller advice for a HBA controller for this server.
Thanks!
