Hi guys,

I followed a lot of threads about raid cards and expander. I actually have a LSI 9260-8i with a HP 12G expander car (9 internal ports). As some of you know, there are some issues.
So here is my question, what s the best expander card for my lsi ? (i own a fantec 42x07 storage case,24 bays)

Thanks for your help

This Intel Card is a 24 ports (6*4) but if you connect it with two cables to the lsi...You will not have 24 ports anymore
Click to expand...

I think you could do 1 x input and then have 20 ports + the extra 4 from your LSI card for 24. I don't think you have to do 2 x input. Or use multiple expanders. If you're using it for regular SATA spinners I don't think it would matter if you only had 1 x input.

Another option would be one of these:

Probably somewhat more expensive though.
 
Yes i knew these products...but i thought that LSI or Adaptec ...would have their own expander card.
When you read some posts, people have Intel 240 or HP expander card, so i went here maybe to find another idea.(device)
