Description

LSI 9200-8e 6Gbps 8-lane external SAS HBA P20 IT Mode ZFS FreeNAS unRAID NoROM
Listed for sale is LSI 9200-8E 8-lane external SAS host bus adapter card that I flashed to IT mode firmware for use with ZFS. It has been flashed to Avago / LSI 9200-8e IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00). This card has NO BIOS ROM, and NO UEFI to speed up boot time during POST. However, this also means you CANNOT BOOT from this card and you will not see any initialization during POST. The card will only be visible after the OS driver has loaded and initialized the card.
LSI Avago IT mode firmware version P20 (20.00.07.00)
No BIOS ROM and No UEFI ROM
Original SAS address preserved
Full profile PCI bracket only
These are based on the LSI SAS2008 SAS controller chipset and supports PCI-E 2.0 specifications with x8 lanes and 6Gbps SAS/SATA technology. The controller has 2x SFF-8088 external connectors, each carrying 4 SAS lanes. You will need a compatible cable to connect these to your JBOD chassis.

Why buy from the Art of Server?
I can provide technical support if you have problems
I'm aware of counterfeit products on the market, and I make every effort to ensure that what I sell are not counterfeit.
I ship fast, usually same or next business day!
I have a YouTube channel with many helpful videos. Look for "Art of Server" on YouTube. (sorry, I can't link per eBay policy)
I fully test the HBAs I sell. See my testing process on YouTube.
I clean the server components I sell. You will not receive something covered in dust, or have unwanted stickers/labels, etc.
I ship electronic parts in proper anti-static bags (not the pink stuff) with bubble wrap or foam protection where needed.
I am a server enthusiast and IT professional that has worked with many brands of servers and have also built custom servers, not just someone selling computer parts. I love what I do! :-)
I've used ZFS for many years. I'm familiar with ZFS on Linux, FreeNAS, and many of the technologies commonly used by other enthusiasts.
I love cats. How can you deny my cute, cuddly charm?
Who is the Art of Server?
I'm a cat lover and a server enthusiast. I've operated my own rack of servers at home for almost 20 years. I've helped many friends and strangers with their servers. So, one day, I thought why not offer pre-flashed IT mode / HBA SAS controllers on eBay to help others with their server build? Since then, I've also added other "interesting" items to my eBay store that I think other server/computer enthusiasts would like. Oh, and I love cats. :-)
