I'll look for it and link it here if you can't find it before I post

Fusion-io ioDrive II - 1.2TB+ drives <0.50/GB
I can help you with the firmware tomorrow... there's an upgrade path in the user guide, you basically have to upgrade to the last 2.x firmware and then move to the 3.x firmware.
I have all the firmwares on my drive and can link you. You have the current driver, you just need the latest firmware from IBM.
You can use a dell firmware with an IBM branded ioDrive, it has to be an IBM firmware.

The firmware file you want is: highiops_3.2.8-20140508.fff
I'll PM you a link.

Yup, the upgrade path is 1.2.4 -> 1.2.7 -> 1.2.8 -> 2.1.0 -> 2.3.1 -> 3.2.15
Here's a list from my personal list of VSL versions and their associated firmware versions.
There are some holes to fill in on this list, but all the important info is there for the upgrade path.

Am I missing anything?
Edit: I was able to update the firmware to the latest and after a reboot, it said it needed to run an integrity check, another reboot (which took much longer than usual) and it then showed up and even was NTFS formatted.

Just picked up 2 ioDrive-II 1.2TB for $250 each. I know nothing about these other than what I've read in spec sheet material. Just read this entire thread; made note of the firmware upgrade path. Not sure what I will do with them, but was thinking about using them for L2ARC/ZIL for a ZoL server I'm building...
well, not to be a pessimist, but i haven't received them yet and I don't know how much wear has been put on them.That's a REALLY GOOD PRICE!!!
Ugh, you're gonna go make me forum-dig and figure this out again, lol.
Alright, it was in my PM box luckily. The bad seller is dopplerefx.
thanks for looking it up. i was searching the forums too, but the links to ebay were all dead. and no, thank goodness, that wasn't my seller.They just arrived too:
OMG OMG OMG

It looks really good! Let us know how the usage stats are when you get some time.
i will, but not soon. have to deal with yet another messed up transaction on eBay... every time i order CPUs on eBay, inevitably something goes wrong; one guy said he had a family crisis and then never delivered and stopped responding and now i'm waiting for the open case to take it's course so that eBay will refund me. Today I got my order for a pair of E5-2670v2 ES QDNR, except I got 1x QDNR and 1x SR1A7 with damage on the corner of the PCB.OMG OMG OMG
