RAID Controller for ESXi and SSD

[yinan]

I am looking for a good RAID controller for ESXi that supports at least 8 SSDs.

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

[Emulex]

lsi megaraid 9271 works well with ESXi

LSI 9271-8i

8 SAS ports
PCI-e 3.0
Built-in FastPath license for SSDs (with firmware >=5.7)
Certified Compatible with ESX 4.0 -> Present
Combinable with the LSICVM02 CacheVault module (SuperCapacitor + permanent NAND Storage instead of Backup Battery)
