Which SATA controller to choose in the server?

Question

System administration

Krch, you need a SATA controller or a RAID controller that would support work in non-RAID mode and would not overheat at the same time. PCIe 2.0 interface, 8 lanes available, no more than one slot, minimum length.
I know that LSI entry level controllers or, say, Dell's PERCs are not capable of non-RAID at all (I don't consider creating RAID0 from the 1st disk in lsilozhike, it's somehow a crutch).
The output interface is not important (miniSAS / SAS / SATA), the minimum number of supported disks is 3.
UPD: the task is to connect three ssds to the server without speeding up the speed, there are no free SATA ports.

Answer 1

This is called an HBA adapter. Many Raid controllers can do this, you just need to upload the correct firmware. It is also quite normal to send disks in jbod mode from the controller. What about heating - this is server equipment, designed for ODA. operating conditions, including the ambient temperature, which in the server room is rarely higher than 20-24 degrees.

Answer 2

LSI 9211-4i with HBA
firmware designed for good forced cooling
It will not lose speed, it will most likely be limited by iops
Costs a penny, used is even cheaper
1 disk in raid0 is not a crutch

Answer 3

We use Adaptec RAID 7805. 8 disks, etc. BUT IT HEATS TERRIBLY. After a minute of work, it began to screech terribly, the temperature was prohibitive, I added a high-speed 60mm cooler, it seems to cope with cooling, but because of the cooler, nothing can be inserted into the next slot. So keep in mind that a large radiator is not a fact that it will not need additional active cooling ...

there is a list of both hba and raid controllers with IOPS capabilities and limits, choose what suits you best
