Up for sale is the HBA card to add 8 SATA drives, this is more advanced card than the ones available.
This supports Trimode storage devices. Is almost in few condition, used for few months in my NAS.
This is the 9300-8i vs your 9400-8i. Paid 3.2k and free shipping. It hasn’t arrived yet so will let you know the customs charge.
Yours seems like the real original deal. These units on ebay are refubs in a way. chips taken from broken boards and put together. (as far as i know)
No guarantee that it works when i get it.
custom duty is hit and miss. delivery time from china has been close to a month for me in Gurgaon. in all my purchases, i got charged custom once. on 9300-16I. it costed me around 5k and they charged 2600 in customs and taxes when it was delivered. rest, ordered 2 9207-8I (c.3k) and multiple small ticket items (under 2k) and never charged anything.
ebay only. experience has been pretty good TBH. Also apologies to @rajch2002 I realize this is a sales thread and this is going to be my last message on this thread.
