Review on 💾 Efficient Data Storage Controller: LSI Logic SAS 9207-8i Storage Controller LSI00301 by David Roberts

be careful. This WILL work with FreeNAS-11.3-U5 BUT. You may get the message "iucrc error occurred". In this case you need to update the firmware of this card. I will not go into the details of this review as flashing should be done after you have been enlightened and agree to the risk. Check the manuals to ensure you are using the correct firmware package. You need the package "9207_8i_Package_P20_IR_IT_FW_BIOS_for_MSDOS_Windows". The firmware that came with my card was 20.00.00.00 and almost immediately freenas was sending iucrc errors on boot. I flashed to 20.00.07.00 and everything is fine. Please keep in mind. please explore Re-flash at your own risk. correct firmware. It's nice to have a new card, but sometimes you want something that works without problems. I paid the premium hoping there would be no problems. Instead I had to re-flash. I'm glad I got my issues fixed but could have saved some money by going the ebay route. You have been notified.
