I've been a long time HardOCP lerker and after reading many posts in this thread I'm afraid I'm slightly confused on whats the best way to go.
I have a NORCO 4224 and I would like to get a HP SAS Expander so I have room for all the drives internally and room for expansion. I wanted to grab a SASLP-MV8 and use it as my HBA, but I recall seeing a post by odditory that said this was a bad idea and I think it was because its limited to only so many expanded HDs it can address but I can't find an exact number.
Basically I want a relatively cheap solution for many HDs in a JBOD configuration and was thinking SASLP-MV8 + HP Expander OR AOC-USAS2-L8e + HP Expander. Recommendations? I will only be streaming blurays off of the drives with a maximum of 3 streams concurrently.
Addtionally, does the SASLP-MV8 work with both SAS channels connected to the expander or only one?
If these questions have already been answered in the thread...I apologize as apparently my searching skillz suck.
