Plug and play operation with unraid and fast I/O. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works perfectly with Unraid. A good use of my PCIe x16 slot *by on Reviewed in the United States 3 June 2025* I bought this to add drives to my Unraid server after I ran out of SATA ports on my motherboard. I currently have it running 4 drives and everything works perfectly. No additional configuration was needed, and the connected drives were automatically detected and have worked perfectly so far. The cables are 18" long (which wasn't noted in the listing), but I was happy to have the extra length.I wish I'd known previously that you can plug a PCIe x8 card into a PCIe x16 slot (It just doesn't use the extra pins). Seems logical now, but I'd avoided buying this in the past thinking it wouldn't fit. Lesson learned! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked out of the box for my Supermicro 846 using Unraid. *by on Reviewed in the United States 17 June 2025* Worked out of the box for my Supermicro 846 with the sas2 backplane. Super simple drop in. All of my drives were recognized by Unraid. I didn't use the supplied SFF-8087 to SATA cables, but used my existing SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 cable. Awesome when things just work. ## Frequently Bought Together - SVNXINGTII LSI 9211-8I 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI FW:P20 9211-8i IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID+2*SFF-8087 SATA - Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin SATA to 4 SATA Power Splitter Cable - 18 Inches - StarTech.com 15.7 in (400 mm) SATA Power Splitter Adapter Cable - M/F - 4x Serial ATA Power Cable Splitter (PYO4SATA), Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/596742960-lsi-9211-8i-6gbps-sas-hba-lsi-fw-p20-9211](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/596742960-lsi-9211-8i-6gbps-sas-hba-lsi-fw-p20-9211) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-15*
