britinpdx brought up the question if this key would work with original lsi cards, as the
Intel RS25SB008 RAID Controller should be a LSI 9286-8e rebrand
I gave it a try with my LSI 9361-8i and it was not working.
Actually it put the raid in degraded status and made the until then "unlimited" fastpath, raid 5 and raid 6 features blink red, saying they are no longer supported due to a wrong key vault.
But no harm done: After removing the hardwarekey again: Everything went back to normal.
I was really expecting this to work, because the RS25SB008 should be a LSI 9286-8e rebrand and
according to
MegaRAID CacheCade Pro 2.0 Software
the original LSI 9286-8e Physical Key Ordering Part Number LSI00290 and
the LSI 9361-8i hast the same ordering part number (LSI00290)
Anybody tried this with a LSI 2208 card?

Mine arrived yesterday.Does anyone know if the AXXRPFKSSD2 CacheCade key is limited to only work with "Intel branded" cards or if it's "universal" and works with LSI 2208 based cards such as the 9271 ? (Is it just an LSI00290 HW key with an Intel sticker)

Seems like you need a LSI2208 product:
