* SFF-8087 connectors, are also known as
internal mini SAS, or even iPASS connectors** Universal I/O form factor brackets will not align. Re-bracket with slightly longer screws & nylon spacers.IT mode is pass through with no RAID or HBA mode, which is best for ZFS. IR mode is pass through (as with IT) but with RAID options. |
