...though the 8308ELP which is definitely listed in mfi(4) and supports both SAS and SATA-II drives appears to be available a touch cheaper here (.uk) - who'dathoughtit... The board photos+specs look rather similar. I wonder if the distinction is in marketing to cater for people who, like me until just now, forgot that the SAS cards support SATA too...(I did wonder why there was a PCIE SCSI card and didn't used to be a PCIE SATA since it seemed such an obvious coupling but the penny only just dropped...)
