Hi I got a HP branded LSI 9205-8i allegedly it has IT/ HBA mode firmware from Ali-E. I wanted to put some SAS disks as a JBOD (Not RAID) For whatever reason this card is not showing in BIOS, and there is no splash screen with the usual 'Press Cntrl + something' I tried this card on a few...

I have 8 SAS disks, which are paired up to 4, to 2 SFF-8643 SAS cables, but the mother board has only one input for those cables, so I would need a second one. As I have 1 x8 and 2 x4 PCIe slots available I just bought my self this adapter: AMAZON LINK, but it doesn't works, because only U.2...

Just received a EMC branded Samsung PM1633a drive purchased on ebay. It was formatted in 520b so used the usual sg_format utility on windows to switch it to 4k (did it successfully with many drives before). After 3% formatted, sg_format returned an error, and both smartctl and sg_format now tell...

Hello everyone, I’m starting to exhaust available sources of information as none of us can seem to determine the issue with this HBA so far. Been on the Unraid forums, discord, Reddit, etc and so far no luck. Current system: -Dedicated server chassis with i9-12900k, 64GB DDR5 -2x SM JBOD’s...

I'm looking at multiple sellers of MZ-ILS3T80 PM1633 SAS SSDs. A few of them explicitly say 512B and others don't. Do these have any known longevity or other issues to be aware of? These are for light home use, so I'm not too worried about them being used. Things I am unsure of: Can they be...

Hi, I have recently purchased a NetApp (LSI?) Class 3650 Model 0834 Storage Array, it uses 2 x NetApp Drive Module PN 45822-00 to connect to the computer. The storage array currently (and for the near future) will be filled with 12 x 4TB Seagate EXOS Drives. After doing a lot of reading and...

So, I think I need to ask you all for some help because being an old-timer from the 2010's and now looking to enhance my storage and disk systems... I am bedazzled by the enormous amount of various options currently available... in such a variety it makes SCSI standards look like a walk in the...

This isn't really a 'guide' but more 'how I did it.' Hardware: PCPartPicker For starters, I'm working on a Quanta S210-X22RQ 2U LGA2011 (some fellow strugglers). Mine came with 2 SAS controllers, the LSI MegaRAID SAS 9261-8i 6gb/s for the front bays and LSI 2008 mezzanine 6gb/s (DA0S2GTH8B0)...

SOLD I originally bought 19 of these, but only needed 11, so if anyone wants to buy the last 8 off of me I'm putting them up for sale here. Sale is through paypal invoice unless you are local to MN (55330) and want to do cash with discount. SMART data and pictures below. I have low level...

Howdo, First of all, yes, I'm a massive sucker for punishment so remember that and bare with me I got an amazing deal on a Dell T620 recently from a scrap merchant of all places. It has a 12 bay 3.5" SAS setup that came full of 600GB SAS drives (two failed), single Xeon cpu but the 8 core...

Hi All I have three Dell R610 Servers with me and was thinking of setting up a home lab with Proxmox. These servers come with Perc 6i RAID controllers and I understand that there is no way for me to configure the drives as JBOD for Ceph Storage. I am looking at replacing the Perc 6i with SAS...

I have a LSI 9211-8i sas card, only one port seems to work out of the two. I tested the cables and the drives and there does not seem to be an issue there. I am not too familiar with SAS cards and I am hoping someone here may know the command or way to check to see if that port has been TURN off...

Looking for the above, qty 6 or more would be best depending on mileage and price. In Canada so if anyone has any available please contact.

Hi, i have a windows 10 pc with DELL perc H200 and an IBM Lto6 drive It works but i suspect the controller is a bottleneck, i only transfer zip/tar files (quite big) but sometimes the copy slows down, and almost never exceeds 150/180 mb/s I bought an used Dell Adaptec PCI-E 12Gb SAS Controller...

Hi team, anyone can share the latest (last??) HP Q6Q68A LTO-8 SAS Drive Firmware? More specifically "LTO_30750_SAS_P381_MSL.frm" Thanks! PS: This is a good reason to move away from HPE to others like IBM => HPE paywalls firmware while others remain open

Hello everyone, Am I right that U.2 (2.5" NVME) SSD can NOT be connected to SAS3008-based HBA (LSI SAS 9305-16i) through any cable (for example, this one or this)? I'm fine that I don't get a full NVME speed, I just see that U.2 (2.5" NVME) SSD are cheaper than SAS SSD. Also, the only way to...

Hi, I wanted to know how can I tell the firmware version of my IBM H1110, ( IBM 81Y4494 H1110 SAS-2 6Gbps HBA LSI 9211-4i P20 IT Mode ) I believe it is in IT mode per the seller on ebay and I wanted to make sure it is flashed correctly. I am very new to the SAS controller world but...
