</div>The 9207-8i is likely a better fit; it comes standard with IT firmware<br>
vs IR in the 9211-8i. Both do work, however. SMCI makes a similar<br>
board, the X9DRD-7LN4F-JBOD, which has the same 2308-IT on board as the<br>
9207-8i. I recommend using that instead of the X9DRW unless you're<br>
wedded to the WIO form factor.<br>
