I bought LSI MegaRAID SAS9260-8i controller card by mistake.
According to specs of this card it can be used in the following ways:
RAID Levels 0, 1, 5 and 6
RAID Spans 10, 50 and 60
I have a 10 year old ancient PC on which having RAID probably is not
a good idea. I just want to connect couple of drives to the
controller and use them at full SATA 3 speed of 6Gbps.
My PC has only one PCI-E x16 version 1.0 slot. The onboard SATA port
is only SATA 1 which I don't want to use as this makes the connected SSD and HDD's slow.
Will it allow me to use the card in Pass Through Mode i.e
I can use the controller without using any RAID or JBOD?
Will it disable onboard SATA ports? Can I have some hard drives connected
to SAS9260-8i in RAID 0 or 1 mode and at the same time have some hard drives connected to
onboard SATA ports?
Please post if you know the anwwers. I have read very little about
RAID in some networking book.Please pardon me if this
question has been asked before.
