LSI 9266-8i experiences

After my not so sucessful adventure with the LSI9202-16e, I discovered this on ebay to brighten my spirits.

LSI9266-8i with CacheCade v2.0 delivered to NZ for a mere $420
Got it from same seller as my LSI9261-8i, also with CC v2.0
I really like the SAS ports on the back of the card for ease of running cables.
Just a pity the LSI9266 takes a different Cachevault module than the LSI9265, I could have swapped the M5016 CV module.

I'll put the 7k2000's on this with RAID0 Cachecade v2 SSDs
Will do a direct comparison of Cachecade and SAS2108 and SAS2208 controllers

I will have to sell of some of my other bounty of controllers to pay for my obsession :)

More experiences to follow.
