    Dell Server - PERC H710, Convert to IT Mode or Use SAS-9211i Controller?

    Hi All - Which of these two controllers are preferred and why - LSI 9211-i in IT mode or reflashing the PERC H710 to IT mode? I believe both are hardware-based controllers, but I am unsure which TrueNAS prefers or which offers best performance. Thanks
