So a 9400-16e is an HBA 16 external in "it mode" already?

The 9400-16e is an HBA with no RAID functionality. Search the PDF for "RAID" and you'll see it isn't mentioned.

There is no "IT mode" for the 9400. That was a name given to the ability to downgrade a card that had limited RAID functionality to one with no RAID functionality. The 94xx and 95xx come in either HBA (no RAID) or RAID, and you can't change the functionality by flashing firmware.

So if I purchased a 9400-16e and put it in my system it should connect to a DIY DAS and let me use a bunch of disks in a Linux based system? no software tomfoolery (assuming correct cables and ports are used for connecting everything)? sorry if I'm repeating myself just trying to be sure I understand as this side of things is new to me and there is so much information across so many forum posts and videos and model numbers (that all seem to be the same standard for the number but are not).
