March 25, 201313 yr I did an entire forum seacrh and did nto get a single hit which surprised me. Is anyone using an M1115...particularly in ESXi passthrough? I guess the important thing is the ability to be able to flash with an IT firmware but can't find any information to say this is possible. http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0856.html John

The M1015 cards do take unRAID version 5+ and being flashed to IT mode. I am running 6 in three different builds at the moment. I have 3 in IT mode and the others were left alone with there RAID functionality. I have RAID1 setup on three for the datastore drives and the other three are connected to a Intel RAID expander card and to the backplanes in the cases.

So does the M1015 work in RAID1 in ESX 5.x without any special drivers? I'm just about ready to start bulding my ESX host once the RMA'ed motherboard comes in.
March 25, 201313 yr Look again...M1115 Nope, I saw the M1115 in your original post. Just pointing out that the M1015 does work and that if you compare the to you might be able to figure out the answer. I did not take the time to look at the specs beside each other.

So does the M1015 work in RAID1 in ESX 5.x without any special drivers? I'm just about ready to start bulding my ESX host once the RMA'ed motherboard comes in. They seem to work just fine. I have 2 set up with RAID1 running with Intel 256GB SSD's that are mirrored. The third I got at a steal with the M1000 advanced feature key to give it RAID5 capability. That is set up with 4 1TB drives in a RAID5 to give about 2.75TB worth of space. The build with the RAID5 has been up and running with ESXi, WHS2011 and unRAID for 4 days or so now without an issue.
