Hello all.

I have the following two controller cards in my server;

- Intel® RAID Controller RS25DB080 (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/servers/raid/raid-controller-rs25db080.html?wapkw=intel+raid+controller+rs25db080)

- Intel® RAID Expander Card RES2SV240 (http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/servers/raid/raid-controller-res2sv240.html?wapkw=intel+raid+expander+res2sv240+)

 

I would like to start using unRAID, and was looking into the following topic (quoted below); http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12767.0. Here I can see the following custom firmwares that can be used for my card (my card has LSI SAS2208 ROC firmware according to the HP website);
