User questions & answers

Question:	Which version, 6gb or 12gb? is battery included
Answer:	The short answer is yes. We use the LSI 9211 with some SuperMicro servers and the OS boots from the LSI card, with a configured mirror raid. However this is more compatibility question of the OS than the card. You may have to side load a driver during OS install to get it to recognize the card at boot. This card can support 4 disks and up to 2 raid profiles.
Question:	is the mention of MEGARAID 9268-8I in the item caption a typo? this card is the LSI00277 card? it appears that you offer this card on ur site
Answer:	By default it is in IR mode. We can flash it to IT mode for you if you prefer. If you need it in IT mode, it is better to message us first so we can expect it. If you message us after you order it, we might not see your message until it is too late, like after we already ship your order. Thanks.
Question:	does this item come with cables
Answer:	The Manufacturer Specification indicates that it supports Linux (SuSE , Red Hat), Solaris, VMware.
Question:	Does it allow you to boot from the card itself? meaning it doesn't need os drivers and will be recognized by the bios first
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Is this set to IT mode
Answer:	No. Ql-38 doesn’t have the screws. Unfortunately most aftermarket hoods are too thin and so it wouldn’t clamp down perfectly when tightened. Even if you get the ql 50 any cf hood will be too thin imo. Solved issue by adding washers that match the exact size of the top ring from ACE hardware and then screwed on using medium loctite. Problem solved.
Question:	Does 9211-4i work with Linux
Answer:	The overall length of the ball pin is 4 inches
Question:	Does 9211-4i come with full-height mounting bracket and the low-profile bracket
Answer:	The QL-38 series Quik-Latch hood pin kits are sold in sets of 2

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this card have boot bios to install OS on a disk attached to it
Answer:	Dear Customer, The difference between these cards is the chipset used for the USB ports. The SD-PEX50063 uses the Renesas uPD720202. The SD-PEX50055 uses the Etron EJ168a.
Question:	Does this support raid
Answer:	I can say for sure that Linux and Omnios (Illumos) work with native drivers. I'm pretty confident that BSD will be okay and you can find a driver for Windows but I haven't tried them.
Question:	What kind of power connector or adapter should I buy
Answer:	If you are using a recent Linux kernel the driver is called CONFIG_FUSION in the kernel config. If it is not in your kernel you will have to install the modules somehow depending on your distribution. If you are using Windows 7 or 10 I think the driver is included in the windows drivers.
Question:	What is difference between sd-pex50063 and sd-pex
Answer:	I made the mistake of buying this thinking it would work with PCI. It is PCI64 which I guess is very non standard.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the 2tb (st2000dm008) internal hard drive cmr or smr
Answer:	The 2TB, 4TB, and 8TB drives are all SMR, which means they are slow for random writes and not suitable as boot drives. (Google "Why SMR drives are sub-optimal for write-intensive workloads".)
Question:	Is this really 7200rpm? the model number suggests otherwise
Answer:	I got the ST4000DM004 which claims 7200 rpm on amazon and my computer is reporting it has a media rotation rate of 5425 rpm
Question:	Is a sata cable included in the package
Answer:	Cables not included. You can buy a SATA data cable and likely the appropriate power cable for your computer right here on Amazon. Depending on your power supply, the power cable may already be connected to it in your computer -- some have that and some do not.
Question:	Is this 7200 or 5400rpm
Answer:	Only the 1 TB (#ST1000DM010) and 2 TB (#ST2000DM008) models are 7200, all the larger models are 5400. Both the llisted speed and model number change in the product description as you pick different disk size options. This is consistent with Seagate's website -- From the home page, drill down through (or search for) Internal / Hard Drives / BarraCuda - Learn More, and then click the 3.5 inch models tab (NOT the 3.5 inch PRO models tab). Then click on the data sheet next to any model to get a PDF with a table containing all of the models along with their drive speeds and other specs..
