Comment on What is a good multirole server setup for a racked server?
erev@lemmy.world 3 months agoI’ve been reading that the updated firmware for the PERC H730 has no issues in HBA mode, and there’s a thread from December in the Proxmox forums on using an H330 and H730 and they seem to work fine. I’m trying to get more clarification in that thread, but I’ll also do some testing myself.

I run my 730xd with a H730 in HBA for months and Truenas has never had an issue.
erev@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It seems that the issues may be quite a bit deeper than they seem. That the cache on the H730 can cause subtle issues. Are you able to get SMART information from the H730 for the disks?

There might have been some firmware version messing with cache, ok. But I run latest firmware and yes, my SMART is clean and my scrubs are clean.

Ok cool. I need to update everything anyways so once I get around to that I’ll test the H730 a bit but it seems that the newer firmware should be ok for ZFS
