I have seen mentions of FW 20.00.07.00-IT being recommended for SAS2308, but it also depends on the driver of your OS. Check with UNRAID.
What issues do you experience regarding TRIM?
Some SSDs do not support TRIM via an LSI HBA. Do your SSDs support TRIM with the HBA?
Proper support should be via "Deterministic READ After TRIM" (DRAT) and/or "Read ZERO After TRIM" (RZAT).
"hdparm -I <dev>" can give you this info. For example:
Commands/features:
Enabled Supported:
* Deterministic read ZEROs after TRIM
I have also seen support reported via smartctl on my systems:
TRIM Command: Available, deterministic, zeroed
For drives that do support TRIM, but not deterministic/zeroed, it may show simply like this:
TRIM Command: Available
Such drives will not support TRIM via these LSI HBAs.

I might have to move my device to the other SAS controller of my EPYC.
anyway... as for the firmware, what is the latest one for this LSI SAS2308?
I havent updated since years.. and I had it with Unraid and now PROXMOX
