This is a very high performance, high bandwidth RAID card that I'll be using to do some testing with the OCZ Onyx SSD drive. It supports all the latest features, and I even have a battery back up that I'll be talking about a little bit in case you ever wondered what a battery back up does on a RAID controller. - Наука та технологія
I need this card for my new DIY setup in 2021. And here I am on this old Linus video 😂
Literally just arrived at my house today 😂😂😂
I know it's quite off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online?
@@hassanmaxton7942 yeah, Netflix, Disney, BT.
I need like 5 of these. Lol
Dude, freaking same!
Omg Linus sounds soooo adorable
Humble beginnings. Great stuff man you came a long way.
I love how to this day, this is still pretty relevant to some personal server enjoyers
Here in 2019 😁
Looking for a tutorial on flashing controller to IT mode in 2020 and see LTT...
TEN YEARS. Time needs to slow the hell down.
That said: even 10 years later this is still one of the best cards you can stuff in a home server.
2021
Very nice video Linus! I'm so excited to see those numbers ... :D
Wow!! Finally a Linus video actually useful! what happened after 2010?
Here in 2020!
Might actually pick one of these up for a home server - doing my research.
This Is an insane build.
man these old videos are so much better
"Download the latest drivers from the manufacturer website"
LOL... I never get tired of hearing that!!!!
Dang. Looking back on these videos, the quality is still impressive now as it was in 2010.
Thing is though, his content way back in the day (even this one for example) is so much more educational. LMG today is basically -
Intro ad
B-roll
couple mins of content, usually pointless
B-roll
outro ad
Value? meh
Educational? meh; YMMV.
I work with these cards all day long. I've tested these with 24 drives per MiniSAS port.
How?
Could you make a video showing how to release the SAS cable from the card? I have one of those that I am having difficulty in releasing the cable.
Really interested in seeing the results of your test.
By the way: Is that an Spyderco knife?
6:15 Crazy how nowadays consumer-grade HDDs have cache sizes of 128MB or 256MB in some cases with 64MB being a low average. I don't even look for 32MB-cache HDDs anymore (in fact, never have in the six years I've had my hands in computer hardware).
I dont evel look at hdds anymore ;-). 2tb ssd 80-120€
@@omid4861 Well, try to store 10TB of video footage on SSDs with backups and all. That becomes very costly very fast. Especially when HDDs have become plenty fast at 350-250MB/s read speeds.
It is 2021 and now I am watching it bcoz of this Chia Revolution Mining thing!
It can't be a real Linus video, there's no segue to a sponsor!
Nice product
Hey Linus, one quick question how much time did u lose during boot up with the controller installed, great video. subscribed a while ago...
And...here in 2020! (in my case not a LSI RAID card but a BIOS embedded LSI RAID controller with remote management tools... 😁)
If you have a backups or Smartups, then you really do not need the battery back up right because if the power goes out, you can finish whatever you re doing and just power down... You usually get about 5 to 10 minutes minimum with the backups..
just got this for my desktop pc to power up some cheap SAS drives I got hold of. works well but boot up is so slow because it has to access bios of the card each time. the raid control software that can be used to disable the bios will not work with windows 10 and there doesn't seem to be an update. Pain in the arss!
Me trying to raid via pcie for days like linus watching this for a bit before I even realized it linus here too!
Gotta love those *crazy* 32GB SSDs 😂
Thanks
hey bud where can I get that nice battery? what model? how do you
secure it? does it come with longer cable? where's the input power
cable to backup battery?
What is the difference between onboard intel raid vs an after market RAID controller?
Hey Linus, what are those splitter you talk about ? I did a search about it, and I can't find anything else than the cable given with the card.
Do you have a link for the 1 SAS to 4 SAS, where we would connect 4 SAS to 4 SATA giving the 16 SATA port per SAS onboard port published ?
can i move a raid array to a new motherboard if i use a dedicated raid controller like this?
Here in 2020 doing a little investigation for a Raspberry Pi project 🙂
is it possible to put 2 hdd(ssd) in both raid1 and 0 at the same time, like putting os and updates and drivers in raid1 and the rest in 0?
Here in 2020 👌🏿
Lol here from 2018 xD
Same!
August 2018!
April 2019
Same xD
@@MichaelBartonMTS Me too. I was like...OK, older card, but that kid sounds like Linus. Then IT WAS LINUS!!!
i love those 8 ssds on the desk its like a purple elephant sitting in the corner of the room... its hard not to notice lol
Waiting for my 16i from ebay! Wish me luck.
at my job googling random old parts to find a solution for a client, halfway through im like "i know this voice...." and here i thought it was one of those random unboxers, its linus from 11 years ago
Are those ssd's gonna be giveaways ? :D
How about a long term review?
I didn't even realize I was watching an LTT video until halfway through.
How do you flash it into IT mode?
Oh, Linus. You're such a tease
linus could you do a raid comparison on fake raid vs hardware raid
I still use it
Watching in 2024 for my home server.. lol
@carnews333 i think he did do an unboxing of the i7 970
@MARIONDA13 yes but you better have a high powerd comput minimum requirements for that many drives in raid 1,0,6 would be windows 7, 2gb ram at lease a 750w power supply and a core 2 duo or higher
Is there a limitation of size per drive? I would like to use WD Red 5TB with thsi card
Hi, same question here...
No drive size limitation but if I remember there is an overall size limit (possibly 64 TB but i could be wrong)
@@damnsong8675309 64 device
how do you split each channel? i have a 9260-4i and want to use more than 4 drives?
Now to find part 2 from thousands of videos lol
Do you give the products back to ncix to sell as refurbished or used?
10 years later ;)
Here in 2020 😁
lol is it for the raid 5,6 and ten vids on ncix tech tips lol
Here in 2020 :D
I don't need it. But Linus makes it awesome!!
Hey Linus! Is it still worth to invest in raid controlers?
I am asking the same question in 2022, most probably no.
Guys, one question... Are these cables suitable for SAS Drives too? so ill be able to use same data cable for sas and sata HDDs and power connectors from my power supply? The reason I ask is because visually SAS ans SATA connectors on HDD looks alike however SAS drives have the middle thing with several contacts there, if you understand what i am trying to say. Thank you in advance :)
It was 2x sas to sata cables (sas plug normally have the power and sas on one block as the extra pins are between the power and the sata connector )
0:55 Here we can see all the specs in greek.
i want that key chain knife >.>
@Dany1148 He works at NCIX
Time to update this since ncix.com is no longer!
very basic and very nice !
Man, those SSDs were like 32G!?
Hello LTT folks! I know this a very old video but I was hoping I could get some help from someone on your team. I recently purchased (via eBay) a used LSI MegaRAID 9260-8i card and after installing it I got this error message: Invalid SAS Address present in MFC Data. Please program valid SAS Address and restart your system. At one point I was able to boot the system (HP Z800 - Windows 10) and access the card parameters via the LSI MegaRAID controller. Any information will be highly appreciated... best regards!
as soon as I saw the SSDs, I clicked "like" lol :P
Oh Linus you think you are pretty smooth with your teasers. This video was very funny somehow. Like when you said the first step and then said 'NICE'
Please tell me you will be givving away those SSD after :D
Linus with his knives
Can anyone tell me where I can download "MegaRAID Storage Manager" software? Thanks
Do a giveaway with the SSD's
I feel like I've stumbled into one of the darkest caverns on the internet. Watching LTT & Short Circuit and Tech Quickie every time they post a new video, this felt really weird.
Back when he was a cheap enthusiast and not a ' consume this ! ' promoting shill.
I bought this card for $15.
Two 3TB SAS drives for $25 each.
You stumbled into the dark enterprise surplus realm Yugi boi.
So they are selling the same card 10 years later? Disturbing newer models aren’t out there.
8 ssd's? how much did that run you?
SSDs would be good for RAID0 then, wouldn't they? Since the risk of failure on one of them is so low.
If you aren't fond of the idea of keeping your data, sure!
@lolodado he had a neck straped which holds the camera, duhhh
will this card work with a z800
But what if you don't have PCIe 2.0 but you have PCIe x16?
how do you split 8 sata cables to 32
+Benjamin Trillingsgaard I am also wondering this
+stickintehmuds The ports are SAS ports. Not SATA. They are enterprise adapters.
Intel sells an expander card with 24 ports. Multiple jumper cables are included to connect to your existing raid card. Also there are SAS and SATA breakout cables available for these cards. I use 20 SATA drives on this raid card in conjunction with an Intel expander card.
+moosejaw50 So... You connect one MiniSAS port from the HBA card to one MiniSAS port on the expander right? That leaves 5 ports on expander making it 20 SATA connections right? But... what with the second one? I saw on the Intel tech video that they plugged second port prom the HBA also into the expander thus leaving only 4 ports - 16 sata. What difference does it make? Throughput? Is it like if you connect via one cable you get 3Gbps and with 2 you get 6Gbps or what?
PS. I just checked the price of the expander... yeah... It's cheaper to just buy 2 more HBA controllers and be done with it :P Unless there is a reason why you wouldn't want 3 HBAs in one system that I am not aware of?
can we run these cards on win 10 system ?
3433MB/s max throughput
it took me 0 HDDs/SSDs
LSI provides!
how much electricity do you drain in a month? more or less than average person? you have so many little projects =)
Here in 2021
so it can have 32 ssds? all hooked up?!?
Linus is so excited about the SSD support. The SSD support is total garbage especially since avago bought them. For the last week I've been trying to fix this stupid controller to work with an SSD. In doing so i have developed a deep hatred for Lenovo, IBM and lsi/avago/Broadcom. It would be a decent card if the firmware wasn't total crap. Also the DDR3 cache doesn't work on ssds unless you pay them even more money
Oh, yeeeez. 8 SSDs? Hand me one, will you? :-)
@robertsimpkin99 haha my bad ; )
Nice hba. Flush it to IT mode and it’s ready for FreeNAS 😀

What's up with everyone whining for giveaways? Stop crying and enjoy the damn videos, they're awesome! I love Linus for his amazingly interesting videos and explanations much more than I love the thrill of the giveaways.
Whats up with the random person smiling on the box?
The LSI lady has a deep voice.
RAID0 all the SSDs and it'll make Revo drive look like Child's play.
@windowsandapple Well, it is a RAID card, so yeah....
@4ourTimber true dat
@BreakB97598 32GB SSDs :)
@nobodypersonsomeone you're right. i barely move my mouse and this stupid bar pops up.
can it do raid 0+1
