I looked through some of the topics but did not find what I was after (I could be blind).
What I would like to know is what SAS3 expander is recommended when using an LSI 9300-8e. I am currently using an old Intel RES2CV240 and it works fine. Just thinking that as time moves on, I should get a SAS3 expander.
The Adaptec AEC-82885T 36-Port SAS-3 expander seems perfect and cheap - but Adaptec and I have a poor history. Really, the expander should be transparent to the system right? Are there go-to TrueNAS SAS3 expanders that people like to use? This is all being used in a Norco 4220 case (20 drive bays).
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Cheers,
