SAS HBA card or integrated with MB?



I need an entry level virtualization server for a few people and I like the Fujitsu line of this kind, but they all seem to have built-in SATA disk interfaces.. I'd like to use SAS disk and apparently there are some SAS interface cards I could use but I have never used such cards and wonder if it is a good idea (re reliability and performance) or should I go with integrated SAS controller?



Answer



Using PCIe SAS HBAs is quite a common solution and nothing to worry about. There is no difference regarding performance or reliability I am aware of.
