    Drivers are built in you shouldn't need them unless updating CentOS 7 probably best But not looking hopeful, even blind flasing app needs to see the card (in fault mode) LSI9240/IBM 1015's are cheap at least Something went wrong when you flashed the Firmware as this is all that is needed to...

    Tiny/Mini/Micro PC experiences

    Kabylake CPUs (7xxxx) support 2160 60p, where as previous gen support 2160 24/30p only, both only via Display port (HDMI falls back further) To get 2160 60p via HDMI you need an active DP to HDMI converter, my Optiplex 7070 has one as an option

    BIOS mod won't make or break NVMe if computer supports it will stay If M700 doesn't support it natively BIOS mod wont fix that Non T CPU with the Microde for it will run, but will get toasty with anything demanding

    Adaptec ASR-71605 RAID 6 Calculations.

    Why are people so worried about speed of Arrays with data that doesn't change A 100GB movie on a disk is written once, 64KB or in my case 1MB stripe size doesn't make any difference to speed You only read the file as fast as the Movie Player needs to display it or your Network can shift it. (1Gb...

    Dell R530 with H730 Controller - Cant See Non-Dell SAS Drive?

    If we're talking one 1.2TB HDD as like it seems, it would probably cheaper to get 512byte version of the drive ? You are going to spend more on the H330 than that drive is worth, H200 (cheap as chips) would also do and leave the H730 mini in place if HW RAID is your thing

    Dell R530 with H730 Controller - Cant See Non-Dell SAS Drive?

    As Greg said get an HBA to format that drive Looking hopeful that it will be doable with the model of drive Also with an HBA you'll be able to get a proper report on the drive model and FW on it Linux Live CD/ISO then follow the very good guide above on formatting to 512byte sectors
