I just went back and checked, and I got the:
LSI 9211 SAS9211-8i 8port low profile 6Gb/s SAS Host Bus Adapter
which was a DELL brand controller. The 9207 is another model which is
also recommended, but this is from 2014 or even earlier. There might
be newer models out there.
I paid $123 plus shipping. Been very happy with it, not problems at
all.
I searched your description and got this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/LSI-SAS-9211-8i-6Gbps-8Port-PCI-Express-SATA-SAS-Host-Bus-Adapter-Hot-/380703631558
Is this the one you are talking about? In my message I mentions this,
www.ebay.com/itm/like/252048579357?lpid=82&chn=ps&ul_noapp=true
Mine is cheaper, so it worries me (BTW, for LSI 9211-8i, the prices are
all over the place). Yours claims RAID capability (assuming IR firmware)
and the other seem to be no raid (may be IT firmware)
Both are from China, and like you say, not sure what I will get.
