Edit: I have a 9201-8i from a different source. They are the same as a 9211-8i (for purposes of driver, firmware etc.) without the NVRAM, so that means no IR functionality (only IT mode) which is fine for my ZFS purposes.

Sometimes the connectors at the back (vs. the m1015 front and top) make it easier for cable management and length.

Good deal! Maybe next time a little more text around it for those that do not know what a 9201-8i is. There is a 365 day warranty also.

As expected, this hba flashes successfully to 9211-8i IT firmware P18 bios v7.35, firmware v18. Sourced from above ebay seller, nice card.
