Below is a list of all known LSI SAS devices from the SAS1068 chipset to the very latest not yet publicly available SAS3xxx series.
Devices with links have been released and official website technical info/support.
Quite a few devices with no links are devices that may have been going to be released, are going to be released or just devices that never made it to production, but they are listed all the same.
I have where applicable written which devices are cross flashable to other devices of the same chipset.
If you have a controller and have successfully cross flashed or done something worthy, reply back here and the list will be updated.
If you find mistakes reply back.
If you know of other devices that we've missed reply back
If you find official webpages for devices listed but not linked reply back.

Key
4i = 1x internal 4 port SAS connector (SFF-8087)
8i = 2x internal 4 port SAS connectors (SFF-8087)
8e= 2x external 4 port SAS connector (SFF-8088)
24i4e = 6x internal 4 port SAS connector (SFF-8087) AND 1x external 4 port SAS connector (SFF-8088)
There are other combinations, but you get the idea :)
Some devices have SATA ports, ie a 4i device could mean 4x SATA connectors (these are rare)

Some devices have quite a few options when it comes to BBU's, these are optional extras, check website specs for options.

Some OEM devices look cheaper then their LSI counterparts (ie IBM ServeRAID M1015 vs LSI9240) this is due to the M1015 lacking RAID 5/50 and drive encryption.
IBM has a 'Advanced feature key' to enable the missing functions, these need to be purchased separately.
Be warned that the Software keys are NOT interchangeable between OEMs and LSI !!

Hope this is of use.

Info:

Caching mode for SAS1078, SAS2108, SAS2208, SAS3108 controllers:
SAS1068, SAS2008, SAS2308 and (probably) SAS3008 have no cache hence the below does not apply

Read mode
The "Read mode" parameter can be used to influence cache behavior for read. A maximum of three options "No read ahead", "Read ahead" and "Adaptive" are available. No caching during read takes place in the case of "No read ahead". If a data block is requested, "Read ahead" causes further sequentially following data blocks to be already read from the hard disk to the cache of the controller just in case, and in the hope that they will be called for in subsequent requests. In the case of the "Adaptive" setting the controller itself attempts to determine whether a read-ahead makes sense or not.

Write mode
The setting options of the controller cache that control the handling of write requests are summarized under the term "Write mode". There are three options for setting the write cache: "Write-through", "Write-back" and "Always Write-back (independent of BBU state)". The "Write-through" option ensures that each write request from the controller is only reported back as completed when it has been acknowledged by the hard disk. With the "Write-back" and "Always Write-back" options the requests are cached in the controller cache and they are immediately acknowledged to the application as completed and only transferred to the hard disk later. This procedure enables optimal utilization of controller resources, faster succession of the write requests and therefore higher throughput. Any power failures can be bridged by means of an optional BBU, thus guaranteeing the integrity of the data in the controller cache. The "Always Write-back" option enables the write cache on a permanent basis; it is also used if the battery of the BBU is empty or if no BBU is installed, whereas the "Write-back" option automatically switches to "Write-through" as long as the controller cache is not battery-buffered.

Cache mode
The "Cache mode" parameter, sometimes also referred to as "I/O Cache", influences the behavior of the controller cache during read. The "Direct" option defines that the data to be read is read from the hard disk directly and is also not stored in the controller cache. The alternative "Cached" causes an attempt to first be made to find the data in the controller cache and to satisfy the read request in such a way that the hard disk is accessed beforehand. All the data here is written to the controller cache so as to be available for subsequent read requests.
Disk cache mode
The possible values here are "enabled" and "disabled". In most cases, the enabling of the hard disk cache entails an increase in throughput for write access. If the system is safeguarded by UPS, the enabling of the hard disk cache is recommended for performance reasons.

Batteries

MegaRAID LSIiBBU07
The MegaRAID LSIiBBU07, used with the 8880EM2, 9750 Series, 9260 Series and 9280 Series protects the integrity of the cached data by providing backup power if there is a complete AC power failure or a brief power outage. RoHS-6
* Requires part LSI00260 when used with 9750 and 9280 16i4e/ 24i4e controllers.
In the Box: MegaRAID LSIiBBU07, installation guide

MegaRAID LSIiBBU08
The LSIiBBU08, used with the MegaRAID SAS 9260 and 9280 series controllers, provides higher ambient temperature tolerances and increased serviceability while protecting the integrity of cached data in the event of a power or server failure.
*Requires part LSI00260 for use with 9260-4i/8i controllers for remote attachment
In the Box: LSIiBBU08 battery backup unit, remote cable
Part #: LSI00264

MegaRAID LSIiBBU09
For MegaRAID SAS 9265 and 9285 Series Controllers

Software/Hardware Feature Keys

Alternate LSI SAS2xxx based controllers.

Areca, a very good range of controllers, including up to 4GB of cache, they make their own Firmware, not compatible with LSI MegaRAID.
3ware, now owned by LSI, these controllers have their own firmware, not compatable with LSI's own MegaRAID range.

Added some Fujitsu controllers
Added Caching info
Added Basic specs to controllers
Numerous other changes

Discovered that some unreleased LSI cards are OEM only versions ie LSI MegaRAID SAS 9286CV-8e are used by Fujitsu

I added the 3ware SAS 9750-8i 2x Internal SFF-8087 ports. 512MB DDR2 cache BBU, capable of RAID 0, 1, 01, 5, 6, 50 to the main site 2108 listing. 3ware is an LSI company now but they do have some alternative parts and a following.

Possibly should have separate sections for 3ware and Areca, as they are LSI based and 3ware owned but they are not inter-operable.
ie you can't cross flash, any RAID arrays on setup will probably not be imported by any other controller unlike the whole LSI range

I wonder if the 3ware brand will stay ?
LSI I think bought it to gain access to the PC440 ROC, AMCC owned 3ware and the PC440

Great point. Maybe that becomes another page (but probably not too useful.)

We could combine Areca and 3Ware controllers.
But like you said not much point as you could just go to their respective website and do the same thing

I'm fairly happy with the above now.
Just need some experiences of who has done what with which and why.

We need computurd to come over a have look, he's more in the know with Areca and if you can import/export Arrays from LSI
