LSI 9201-8i RAID Controller Card 6G HBA FW P20 9211-8i IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID SAS PCI E Expander Card + 2*SFF-8087 SATA

I used this when setting up a new Proxmox server. Works with kernel 6.12.

Drop in to a TrueNas system and picks up perfect. No driver fiddling required.

It works for my purpose which is for zfs. But there is a quirk I didn't know which is that it will only show up after booting into the OS, this is apparently normal for cards like these. The UEFI will not recognize it. Still works perfectly fine for me. Just have to boot using disks that are connected directly.

Was picked up without issue by TrueNas Scale on desktop grade hardware. Being used to drive a pool of SSD disks. So far, so good.

This SAS HBA card works great with my server setup. It's compatible with the LSI 9201-8i and 9211-8i in IT mode, which is exactly what I needed. The card was detected immediately and all my drives showed up without any issues. Great for building a NAS or home server. Excellent value compared to name brand cards!

I purchased this HBA card back in June for an UnRAID system I built and it has been performing well. I currently have 7 SATA drives connected to this card. The card was plug n play and already in IT mode. I simply installed the card and attached my drives. and powered up the system. All drives were instantly recognized. What I like: - Ease of installation - Value for money - Speed - Compatibility What I dislike: - N/A

still going strong in my Linux server over a year later
