2strokeunraid Posted November 3 Posted November 3 (edited) Heya guys I will write a guide up but its basically grabbing a brand new 430-16i which is close to half the price of a second hand 9400-16i and flashing with the 9400-16i firmware. Ebay is flooded with these hba's and all you need to do is grab the newest lsi 9400-16i firmware and flash in an efi shell. I used clover as a usb bootable efi shell and used its command prompt. I mounted the clover bootable disk with "map -r" next "fs0:" then just ls to lsit dir cd to change basic nix commands. You need the lastest storcli.efi from broadcom, its the flashing util and firmware for the 9400-16i which is under legacy. I found the guide on github googling "430-16i github" just download the lsi 9400 frimware instead of lenovo and follow. I will write a full step by step guide when i get a chance as it will save alot of people money. For a u.2 nvme cable i got mine of aliexpress searching for broadcom u.2 and getting the one with hd mini sas Edited November 20 by 2strokeunraid updated Quote

2strokeunraid Posted November 20 Author Posted November 20 (edited) No dramas ill link to a few guides when i get a chance, though theres enough pinned in this section to follow. It's been working great and i'am grabbing another U.2 to nvme caddy for a second nvme soon. The main reason i put this here as the lenovo 430-16i and 8i don't support tri-mode which takes the price down alot, though with a flash there full blown 9400's again Edited November 20 by 2strokeunraid updated Quote
