I recently put together a budget ESXi 6 server for home and I wanted a cheap hardware RAID card for it.<\/p>\n
I purchased myself this card – a SilverStone SST-ECS03. It cost about \u00a340, which is a lot cheaper than any of the cards on the ESXi 6 HCL!<\/p>\n
I installed the card and disks, then formatted a new RAID1 array with no issues. But of course… ESXi 6 didn’t recognise the card. It transpires this is because VMware removed support for any devices not on the HCL. However… this support can be added back in!<\/p>\n
