Panteon Posted March 18, 2023 Share #1 Posted March 18, 2023 Hello! I have an LSI 9211-8i IT-mode. Will the Toshiba (KIOXIA) MG08SDA800E 8TB SAS 12Gb/s HDD see it? I want to use 3622xs+ and LSI 9211-8i IT-mode + Automated Redpill Loader + DSM 7.X.X and eight MG08SDA800E HDDs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-88 Posted March 18, 2023 Share #2 Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) i never tied sas drives myself but there are a lot of people with dell and hpe servers and i'd guess at least some would have sas drives as this the the normal for "real" business servers if you already have one drive the you can just install with arpl loader and see what happens when using the forum search can find people using sas disks with the recent loaders for 7.x problem with sas disk seems be fixed since july 2022 i guess it might be possible to try that with virtual sas disks in a hypervisor or oracle virtualbox Edited March 18, 2023 by IG-88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IG-88 Posted March 19, 2023 Share #4 Posted March 19, 2023 (edited) 8 hours ago, Panteon said: do you mean 3622xs+ ? imho it should work as long as lsi sas controller is supported/working, afaik the api calls are shim'ed (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shim_(computing))) and that happens "hidden" in the lower levels of the loader so it will be in place on every variant as the red pill kernel module is the same for all 3622 is the safest choice as it has lsi sas controller drivers ootb from synology i was planing to get out my test hardware again next week to play around with sa6400 (kernel 5.x) and dsm 7.2 might no be hard to test sas disks in addition as is have a 9211-8i around and some sas cables and drives at work but as mentioned above, when using the forum search you ca find people using sas drives so i'm pretty sure it will work https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/45795-redpill-the-new-loader-for-624-discussion/?do=findComment&comment=219467 As the LKM supports SAS-to-SATA emulation for the purpose of syno APIs thinking it's a "SATA" device further investment into true SAS doesn't really make sense. as example here you have one system with arpl and sas drives working https://xpenology.com/forum/topic/63399-cant-resolve-disks-with-tcrp-ryzen-motherboard/?do=findComment&comment=289109 Edited March 19, 2023 by IG-88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
