I would like to know if cross flashing is possible with 2208 as well.

Supermicro officially released 1150 motherboards. Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Products | Motherboards | Xeon

It's about 5.5cm from center of the both screws on mine.

Ha ha ha... I was thinking the same thing...

There is actually another firmware that was released on 5/30/13 (23.16.0-0012). I've tried both with 23.16.0-0012 & 23.12.0-0013 (which was released on 5/7/13). I can't get the diskcache to be enabled. It's just grayed out in the WebBIOS. I even tried with Cachecade trial key hoping that it'll...

I still can't enable "Disk Cache" with the new firmwares. This is the firmware I have: 9271-4i: 23.16.0-0012 (dated 4/15/13) 840 Pro: DXM05B0Q Anyone else with 9270/9271 having the same issue?

LSI released new firmware for 9270/9271 (SAS2208) controllers. Wonder if this firmware fixes the disk cache enable issue. MegaRAID SAS 9270-8i

Looks like Samsung released new firmwares for both 840 & 840 Pros and unfortunately I don't have the SSDs with me anymore. Do you think this new firmware might solve this issue? Samsung SSD | Samsung Semiconductor Global Website

Try closing the MSM and reopen it.

Looks like a standard PCI 32 bit riser to me. You can get these on eBay for next to nothing.

Are you saying that there's an issue with Samsung 840 Pro as a Cachecade device or as a RAID set with 9270? Can you benefit or does anyone use Cachecade with straight SSD drives as RAID? I can see how I might want Fastpath for all SSDs but not sure if there's any benefit with Cachecade with all...

Either out of stock or no where near $700... Didn't spend too much time, though.

Ahh... I'm assuming that you were using the cables from Supermicro. What you have to do is actually push the metal part in. Otherwise it will not latch on to the connector. You will see that the metal part on the cable pushes out when you connect it to the socket so you have to manually push it...

Again, was able to enable disk cache policy with Intel RS25DB080 (same as 9270-8i) in both WebBIOS & MSM.

I was able to enable disk cache policy with my 9260-4i. Both in the WebBIOS & MSM. Disk: 4X Samsung 840 Pro 512GB RAID: 9260-4i - RAID 10

LSI purchased Sandforce early last year. You think this has something to do with it? I mean Samsung manufactures their own controller for the 840 drives and LSI should have no interests in supporting anything but Sandforce or degrade the others in some sense.

Just finished building some servers with four Samsung 840 Pro 512GB. I used Intel RS25DB080 which is the same as 9270-8i.

As far as I know Fastpath only works with SSDs. I don't think you can enable Fastpath with SAS drives...

I know he buys Intel, IBM and LSI controllers on eBay and enables the advanced features (software) on all of them and resells them back. I highly doubt that the license is legit but the controllers seem to be. Still a good price.

Now, that's a deal!!! Is the company legit? I've never heard of them before...
