Hello DaniWeb community,

I'm currently working on a server build and have run into some issues with my SAS controllers and Host Bus Adapters (HBA). Here’s the situation:

I'm using a [specific server motherboard model] with [specific CPU model] and [specific amount of RAM], and I've installed a [specific model] SAS controller. The goal is to connect several high-capacity SAS drives for storage, but I'm experiencing unexpected behavior. The system sometimes fails to recognize the drives during boot, and even when it does, the drives are intermittently dropping out during operation.

I’ve tried updating the firmware on the SAS controller and the HBA, and I’ve also tested different cables and power supplies, but the issue persists. Could this be a compatibility issue between the SAS controller and the HBA? Or is there something else I might be overlooking?

Any suggestions or insights would be greatly appreciated, especially if you’ve had similar experiences with SAS controllers and HBAs.

Thanks in advance!
