There are several models of LSI controllers mentioned in these forums that do support IT mode. It appears from some searching that it may not support JBOD either. The 926x line has a 2208 chip which, apparently, is RAID only. Your best bet is to pick up an LSI controller that does support cross flashing to IT mode. Those based on the 2008 or 2308 chips are popular. Someone reported having been able to flash a 2208 controller with 2308 IT firmware, but, that is risky to say the least and I am not sure I would trust that report. Hi sorry for the spam I got a new card and the drives show on unriad however im getting this message "5 supportable devices of 20 are presented for system boot selection" only 15 drives are showing. As its picking up 20 is there something I need to do to get the last 5 to work or are they dead drives?
February 8, 20206 yr That's just for boot selection, it doesn't matter for Unraid, all devices should be assignable.

May 7, 20206 yr @johnnie.black I might have a similar problem. I just added a 4TB HGST SAS drive to my server and it's not showing up. The rest of the drives are SATA and attached to my Supermicro CSE-836BE16-R920B's backplane with a single link running to my 9211-8i. The 4TB SAS drive is attached the same way but it's not showing up in the LSI BIOS or Unraid. How can you tell if it's formatted correctly?...or the guy on Craigslist sold me a dead drive baymax-diagnostics-20200506-2315.zip Edited May 7, 20206 yr by ramblinreck47

July 7, 20205 yr Sorry to be a pain again. I have just tried to use sg_format for my drives and im getting this error
August 7, 20214 yr i am also having a problem. my hba and drives are recognised in Truenas but not unraid, any help would be great, thanks tower-diagnostics-20210808-0044.zip

January 19, 20233 yr Just bought an R720 having the same issue I just ordered a GPU and I'm going to unplug the raid controller and Flash it to IT mode I guess. lol I have no idea what I'm doing. Guess I will just have to follow YouTube and pray
February 17, 20233 yr Hello all, I recently passed my server on to another newbie. He set up his own unraid disk. He is using old drives of mine. He has the MD1000 as well but does not want to hook it up to begin with. I beleive that it was a perk 200 that I installed to communicate with the drive bay. He has not removed that card. he does not have a vga cord and is trying to use a vga to hdmi cord, but he is getting 0 video. he can log into idrac and get the system booted but it is stopping on hit f1 or f2 nothing apears in unassigned drives. Any suggestions on getting the drives recognized would be great stella-diagnostics-20230217-1322.zip
February 17, 20233 yr Found one of the issues, the newer newbie thought the drive just sat in the tray freely and the older newbie didn't think to ask if he knew how to install the drive.... Headslap emoji here!
