Hello,
I am shifting from 9300 series cards into 9400 series cards and formerly I was given the choice of IT and IR firmware. I'm using these HBAs to connect to JBODs and running zfs so I was using the IT firmware, not doing any hardware RAID.
With the 9400 series (P22 update) these options appear to have been replaced with 2 new versions I'm unfamiliar with:
HBA_9400-16i_Mixed_Profile.bin
HBA_9400-16i_SAS_SATA_Profile.bin
and
HBA_9400-8i8e_Mixed_Profile.bin
HBA_9400-8i8e_SAS_SATA_Profile.bin
For my 16i card there is only one option:
HBA_9400-8e_SAS_SATA_Profile.bin
So, what are these 2 versions and which one would I choose to get the most IT-like performance offering?
Thanks
