February 20, 20197 yr Hi all, Any chance anyone has experience with flashing an LSI 9266-8i to being a JBOD card? I have googled until I've just about worn the letters off my keyboard and cannot find a straightforward answer. Thanks in advance fora any directions!
February 21, 20197 yr Here's a guy that flashed a 2208 with the FW for a 2308 with IT mode, seems to have worked but YMMV http://mywiredhouse.net/blog/flashing-lsi-2208-firmware-use-hba/
February 21, 20197 yr Author Cool! Thanks @Michael_P, I will give it a read. I realize this card was really not meant to be in IT mode, but... 🔨

February 21, 20197 yr Author How bout it! And... doing things like this is how we learn 😉 Thanks again. Have a good evening!
July 12, 20196 yr Author Sorry no. I fooled with it for a few hours and decided "my time" was worth more than the cost of an approved card. I bought a couple of these "Broadcom / LSI SAS3008 PCI-Express Fusion-MPT SAS-3 (rev 02)" from this guy on ebay. I think he is shipping them in from China and reselling them here in the U.S. Regardless, they are working great and I have worked them hard on a few occasions. Here is the link to the cards: https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-LSI-SAS-9311-8I-PCI-E-TO-12Gb-s-SAS-Host-Bus-Adapter-3-0-SATA-SAS-US-seller/132573448468?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 If your drives can handle the speed, it is fast! I know there are some instructions earlier in the post that may help, but i just did not have the patience at the time and did not want to brick it. Good luck!
