To the user frustrated with the socket location on the 9260-8i, you need to look into the LSI 9261-8i instead. It's the same card but with the sockets at the rear of the card for better routing in 2U servers.

I thought that I had received the wrong drive. Acutally I had the wrong cable. And I should have known better. Once I got the correct cable, the boards work.

LSI product, LSI reputation, LSI tech support. Next gen speed - 12Gb/s with 8x PCIe 3.0 interface. Extreme SSD testing shows crazy fast numbers which ultimately bottleneck at the backplanes - good luck hitting this ceiling in real world applications! Support for Server 2012. Great expandability potential with one internal and one external mini-SAS HD connector. Support for over 1000 Sata/SAS devices! Really? Yes, though I am thinking i will be hard pressed to require more than 24! Recomended
