Hi folks,
While searching for a SAS HBA (IT Mode) and digging through all the LSI SAS2008 cards, I came across this:
Dell PERC H200 Adapter 8 Port 6GB s SAS SATA Controller Card 47MCV 00RR9J 0U039M | eBay
Threw out $50 offer and got countered $60 which I took. The popular cards such as M1015 all seem to be in the $90+ range due to demand so this seemed like a good alternative to those running ZFS, BTRFS etc.
Here's the crossflashing guide I found with files: A Cheaper M1015 - the Dell H200 and a HOWTO Flash - Overclockers Australia Forums
Another crossflashing guide with special directions for UEFI boards: SAS HBA crossflashing or flashing to IT mode, Dell Perc H200 and H310 | techmattr
Hope this helps some folks looking for HBAs
