Drive controller for external Sans Digital TR4X endclosure

[gibster]

Hi.

 

I'm going to discontinue using my HP ML10 V2 because it's too noisy. I don't have a server room with A/C and weather wise it's always pretty warm around here. When the server is working away the system fan spins up accordingly.

 

I'm going to use the external SansDigital TR4x enclosure I have attached to it and install the 4 4TB drives I have in the server now in the enclosure. This enclosure uses a SFF-8088 mini SAS connector. I use drive pool so don't need hardware raid.

 

I'm looking for a reasonably priced recommendation. I'm going to be installing the controller in a Win10 Pro machine with an ASUS Maximus Gene VI motherboard.

 

I'm guessing the P222 is unusable in anything other than an HP server.

 

I've done a forum search but can't find anything specific to my situation.

 

Cheers

gib

After doing a little more searching around with Google I decided to purchase a LSI SAS 9207-8e via ebay. New from China for $110 AU plus shipping. This looks like it will do what I want.
