You should verify that before you actually put it in use. Without SMART you will have problems when a disk starts failing as you often won't be able to figure out which disk is failing. markw78 on IRC has spent the last week trying to figure out which of his disks are bad and he's finally given up and buying an M1015 so he can find out. LOL.

OK, well how do I check if I can't get into my system? I guess I can look at the LSI site http://www.lsi.com/products/host-bus-adapters/pages/lsi-sas-9201-16i.aspx

This is kind of vague, but it basically says that it depends on you mobo. So, in my case I would assume it would because my CPU being a second gen i3 is compatible with the SuperMicro MBD-X9SCM-F-O mobo. lol why can't they just give a straight answer...

Does the Intel® Core™ i3 Processor support Error Correction Code (ECC) memory?
The Intel® Core™ i3 Desktop Processors and the desktop boards that support these processors typically do not support ECC memory. ECC memory is usually used on servers and workstations, rather than on desktop platforms. This is mainly due to the price premium of ECC memory. Check with your desktop board manufacturer to see if ECC memory is enabled on your board.

You need 3 things for ECC to be supported and function with Intel:
1. Server chipset supporting ECC
2. CPU supporting ECC
3. RAM is ECC.
I know some i3s do ECC, but its kind of a secret handshake which ones. I always forget which ones that aren't listed. If you have any doubts then you should just buy a CPU that actually lists ECC support. The Pentium G2020 supports ECC and is a common CPU for home users looking for a cheap but sufficiently powerful CPU to get the job done.
