Hey axan Thanks sooo much for all your help. The Adaptec Serial ATA II RAID 2820SA will definately work :D I have ordered one controller already.. Thanks for solving my problem, i greatly appreciate it. Hopefully i can get my system up once i get the controller and start having fun...

hi axan budget is open. The controller doesnt need to support sas drives cause i will be using all sata drives. I checked out adaptecs website, but a 8 port pcix sata controller for esxi seems pretty rare :( actually it seems all the good cards are pcie but unfortunately i dont have any pcie...

The LSI 8208XLP doesnt work with esxi It doesnt see any drive to load the os to. I would probably have better luck with a HW raid controller. :confused: Anyone have any other suggestions for a 8 port PCIX sata controller that will work with esxi?

ill definately let everyone know if this card works. Iam hoping it without issues I have ordered the card, its a special order so it should take a week or 2 to get

Ill give it a shot and see if it works. The pricing ont hose cards isnt too bad anyways. Thanks for the help

hey unhappy_mage Thanks for the assistance. That controller could work but i dont see it listed on the HCL or any whitebox list. How can you tell if this card will work with esxi?

hey ChinaMan I did go through that list, i found the LSISAS1068 --- http://www.lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/standard_product_ics/sas_ics/lsisas1068/index.html?locale=EN&remote=1 unfortunately it doesnt do raid 5

hello This is a great forum and has been a great resource on my project. Iam trying to build a esxi whitebox but iam unable to find a pcix sata raid controller that will work with esxi. I need something that will be able to do raid 5 and raid 10 atleast and supports 8 disks per controller...
