Good evening,
It has been several years since I have built a TrueNAS box. The one I have now has been running peacefully on a Dell PowerEdge R720 with a firmware flashed HBA from the big auction site which was recommended to me at a time (I have it linked in my signature).
As I said I’m now several years down the road and would like to build a newer TrueNAS box on Dell PowerEdge 14G hardware. To compliment that, I feel like a newer firmware flashed HBA is in order. In addition, my old box is still in use so I can’t steal that one (yet).
Would anyone be willing to provide a link to a reputable vendor or specific HBA model for my use case (I’ve got a number of flash/SSD drives to install, both SAS and SATA varieties but I’ll likely stick with SAS)? Through my initial searching, it sounds like there’s a lot of scams out there now for firmware flashed HBAs and I’d rather not flush $ down the toilet and/or waste a bunch of time.
Thank you in advance,
Jas
