I purchase a Supermicro 4U 36 Bay X9DRI-LN4F 2x Xeon E5-2690V2 10 Core box from Unixsurplus (Mr. Rackables) on ebay. The unit has a LSI 9211-8i HBA in it currently. The listing stated it would work with up to 8 TB drives just fine, and it is doing just that. I've loaded it with a number of 8TB drives thus far, and no issues.
With some of the larger drives 10 and 12 TB drives coming down in price, is there anything from preventing the LSI 9211-8i from recognizing drives larger than 8TB? I'd like to put in a 12TB drive as my parity drive (UnRaid), and move the 8TB drive i'm currently using into the pool.
