Flashed to Avago / LSI 9211-8i IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00).Comes with ventilated standard full height profile bracket. Firmware and bios flashed, and fully tested with all 8 SAS lanes. LSI 9211-8i IT (Initiator Target) firmware version P20 (specifically 20.00.07.00), MPTSAS2 BIOS ROM version 07.39.02.00 Review: Plug and Play, replaced old/dying/questionable SAS HBA without error - I run a Proxmox hypervisor and this card is attached to 8 drives for storage on my network. The card it replaced I got for $30 on eBay. I can tell by looking at this, it is a genuine LSI part. My hypervisor uses ZFS to manage storage volumes/arrays, and the old card gave AER errors that would flood my syslog and when I connected this card, all the errors went away. Like magic, this just works. I wish I bought this in the first place. This was entirely worth the $80 paid to enable SAS on my server without errors. --------------------- If any of you are still reading, and might be curious... I have 3x HGST 4TB drives in a ZFS stack (RAID 5) for an effective 8TB storage with 1 failure. I have 3x Seagate 12TB drives in a ZFS stack (RAID 5) for an effective 24TB storage with 1 failure. All refurbished drives because I'm pretty budget conscious. Review: Works with TrueNAS - Tried a couple different SAS cards and had a lot of problems. This one works like a champ. Appears to be pre-flashed in "IT Mode" if you're trying to use this in conjunction with a SAN and a bunch of JBOD drives. I slapped this card in a 2004'ish Dell server running TrueNAS and it picked it right up. It's been faithfully running my storage array for months, without a single reboot. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B082HKNCVD | | Best Sellers Rank | #40 in RAID Controllers | | Brand | StorageTekPro | | Compatible Devices | servers and storage systems | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 out of 5 stars 47 Reviews | | Hardware Interface | PCI, SAS | | Manufacturer | Generic | | Mfr Part Number | SAS 9211-8i | | Model Number | LSI 921 8i | | Number of Items | 1 | | Operating System | Multiple | | Style | Classic | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 640052764712 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** StorageTekPro - **Compatible Devices:** servers and storage systems - **Hardware Interface:** PCI, SAS - **Style:** Classic - **UPC:** 640052764712 ## Images ![Flashed Original LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode for ZFS FreeNAS unRAID 6Gbps SAS HBA - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rATsil0bL.jpg) ![Flashed Original LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode for ZFS FreeNAS unRAID 6Gbps SAS HBA - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81OqqqFFWRL.jpg) ![Flashed Original LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode for ZFS FreeNAS unRAID 6Gbps SAS HBA - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81c1R57IP9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug and Play, replaced old/dying/questionable SAS HBA without error *by M***T on January 31, 2024* I run a Proxmox hypervisor and this card is attached to 8 drives for storage on my network.

This one works like a champ. Appears to be pre-flashed in "IT Mode" if you're trying to use this in conjunction with a SAN and a bunch of JBOD drives. I slapped this card in a 2004'ish Dell server running TrueNAS and it picked it right up. It's been faithfully running my storage array for months, without a single reboot. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Plug and play for my application *by A***R on September 26, 2023* I used this to add more hard drive controllers to my motherboard. I have a Plex media server setup and needed to go to 4 hard drives. I found that one of the ports on my mother board did not work. Bought this expander and moved the drives to it and it fired right up. I have 4, 14Tb HDs in my system currently but the system has space for 8. I doubt I will ever get there but this card should cover what I need. I consieer this a good purchase. ## Frequently Bought Together - StorageTekPro Flashed Original LSI 9211-8i P20 IT Mode for ZFS FreeNAS unRAID 6Gbps SAS HBA - Cable Matters Internal Mini SAS to SATA Cable 3.3 Feet (SFF-8087 to SATA Forward Breakout) - Cable Matters 2-Pack 15 Pin SATA to 4 SATA Power Splitter Cable - 18 Inches --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sk/products/179296113-flashed-original-lsi-9211-8i-p20-it-mode-for-zfs](https://www.desertcart.sk/products/179296113-flashed-original-lsi-9211-8i-p20-it-mode-for-zfs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Slovakia* *Store origin: SK* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
